Working in Chester-le-Street
We cover every part of Chester-le-Street, including DH2, and nearby Washington (3.7 miles) and Houghton-Le-Spring (4.5 miles).
Homes in and around Chester-le-Street vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We plan luxury bathrooms in Chester-le-Street with drawings and a full product schedule, and the price is fixed in writing once the design is agreed. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Chester-le-Street property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered.
Water across much of County Durham is moderately hard. 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
- Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
- Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
- A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
Decisions to make first
Lighting
Layer it: IP-rated ceiling lights for general use, a lit mirror at the basin and low-level LED in niches or plinths for night, each on its own switch or dimmer.
Heating
Underfloor heating under stone or porcelain makes the room comfortable all year; pair it with a towel rail for drying.
Rules that apply in England
In England, the new circuits a luxury bathroom often needs, for underfloor heating, a steam unit or a digital shower, are notifiable under Part P. An unvented hot-water cylinder, often fitted to feed a large shower, must be installed by a G3-qualified installer, and any work on the boiler must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
