Working in Peterlee

We work right across Peterlee — SR8 — and in neighbouring Seaham and Hartlepool.

Peterlee gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If nobody in your Peterlee home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. For shower rooms in Peterlee, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.

Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Peterlee. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover

Decisions to make first

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any change to the wiring in the shower room, or a new circuit for an electric shower, is notifiable under Part P. If you are replacing the fan, keep it at least as effective as the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second intermittent for a bathroom.

Who handles building control for a shower room in Peterlee?

Building control for Peterlee 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 shower room take?

Allow 4–8 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 Peterlee.

Will a shower room put buyers off?

A shower room is rarely a problem as an en-suite or second bathroom. If it would be the only bathroom in a family-sized house, some buyers will want a bath, so think about how long you plan to stay. A local estate agent can tell you what buyers in your street expect.
