Bathroom, Kitchen & Joinery Fitters in Dinnington

One council for permits and sign-off: how a Dinnington job is set up

Dinnington is in the Rotherham borough, and Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council is a unitary authority. The same council handles building control for notifiable work and the highway permits for a skip or scaffold on the road, which is tidier than over the border in Derbyshire, where those jobs are split between district and county. Barbers Bathrooms & Kitchens works with both arrangements every week, and we confirm what applies to your house before we quote.

Many of the older colliery terraces have a yard at the back reached by a shared passage, and that is often a better way in for a bath or a stack of plasterboard than the front hall. We check the passage width at survey, and whether a neighbour's gate or bins will need moving on delivery day. On the newer estates towards Anston the drive normally takes the skip, but grass verges there are often part of the adopted highway, so the skip has to stay on the drive itself rather than spilling onto the verge, or it needs a permit like any other skip on the road.
