Working in Washington

As well as Washington itself (NE37 and NE38), we survey in Chester-le-Street, Felling and Houghton-Le-Spring.

Homes in and around Washington vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Washington bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good. We survey in Washington before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover

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.

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.

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.

More about fitted bathrooms

Fitted bathrooms in Washington: questions

How much should I budget for a fitted bathroom in Washington?

A fitted bathroom in Washington usually costs £5,800–£10,750 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Washington?

Building control for Washington 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 long does a fitted bathroom take?

Allow 6–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Washington.

Is the home survey in Washington really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

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.
