Bathroom, Kitchen & Joinery Fitters in Killamarsh

Killamarsh has a Sheffield postcode, so whose rules apply?

Although Killamarsh has an S21 postcode and sits right on the Sheffield boundary, it is in Derbyshire. Notifiable work here is signed off by North East Derbyshire District Council's building control, and the roads are Derbyshire County Council's, so that is who issues the permit when a skip has to go on the street. It is a detail worth getting right at the start, because an application sent to Sheffield simply comes back.

On the newer estates to the north and west, parking is usually the easy part, since most houses have a drive, although some estate roads are narrow with cars on both sides in the evening, so we aim to be unloaded early. What those houses tend to have instead is plastic push-fit pipework and plasterboard partitions, which are quick to alter but easy to damage. Barbers Bathrooms & Kitchens scans a wall with a detector before fixing anything to it, because pipe and cable runs on some estates do not follow the tidy zones you would expect. In the older colliery housing the survey leans the other way, towards old pipework and solid walls.
