Bathroom, Kitchen & Joinery Fitters in Rotherham

One council for permits and building control in Rotherham

Rotherham is a metropolitan borough, so a single authority, Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, is responsible for both building control and the highway, including skip permits on the road. Replacing a suite like for like needs neither. Adding a circuit, moving a consumer unit or knocking through for a kitchen-diner does involve building control, and a structural opening also needs a beam specified by calculation, which we arrange before the wall is touched.

In the terraces around Masbrough, Eastwood and the town centre, many houses have a back yard reached along a shared ginnel, and where it is wide enough that is a better place for waste than a road that needs a permit. When the ginnel is shared, we let the neighbours know the working days first. Out in Wickersley, Bramley and Whiston most houses have drives, so skips and deliveries are simpler, but the projects are bigger and often take in a kitchen and a hall at the same time. Barbers Bathrooms & Kitchens plans those in zones, keeping one clear route through the house from the front door to the stairs throughout.
