Bathroom, Kitchen & Joinery Fitters in Creswell

Who handles building control and skip permits for a Creswell job?

Creswell falls under Bolsover District Council, so any notifiable part of a job here, such as a new circuit for an electric shower or an alteration to the drainage, goes through the building control service covering the Bolsover district. Street works are a separate matter. The roads and pavements in the village are looked after by Derbyshire County Council as highway authority, and it is the county, not the district, that licenses a skip or scaffold standing on the public road. At Barbers Bathrooms & Kitchens we work out which of those applies before a start date is agreed, so nothing holds the job up once the old suite is out.

Plenty of Creswell terraces open straight onto the pavement with no drive at all. In that case the skip firm normally applies for the county permit, which takes a few working days, so we book it as soon as your dates are fixed. Where a house has a drive or a yard, a skip on private ground needs no permit. In the Model Village we are also careful about where waste and materials are stacked, because the shared green spaces are part of what makes the conservation area what it is, and a pallet of plasterboard left on the grass for a week does nobody any favours.
