Working in Seaham

In Seaham we cover SR2 and SR7; we also cover Houghton-Le-Spring, 4.7 miles away, and Sunderland.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Seaham: free survey, written quote, one team. Fitted furniture suits the many Seaham bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household. For homes in Seaham where the bathroom is the only one, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as short a time as possible.

Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

Tiling height

Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.

Heating

A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.

Rules that apply in England

In England, new circuits and most electrical changes in a bathroom are notifiable under Part P, so they must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. If you are adding a new extractor fan, Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second as the usual intermittent extract rate.

What is the price of a fitted bathroom in Seaham?

A fitted bathroom in Seaham usually costs £5,800–£10,750 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Is the water hard in Seaham?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Seaham?

Building control for Seaham is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How do you get to the cistern behind fitted furniture?

Concealed cisterns are reached through the flush plate opening or a removable panel in the WC unit. We fit an isolation valve so the cistern can be serviced without draining the system.
