Bathroom, Kitchen & Joinery Fitters in Shirebrook

Owner or landlord: what a Shirebrook job needs to leave behind

Shirebrook is in Derbyshire despite its NG20 Mansfield postcode, so Bolsover District Council is the building control body here and Derbyshire County Council licenses anything on the road. For owner-occupiers that is mostly background. For landlords it matters more, because the certificates from a job belong in the property file: any notifiable electrical work comes with its certificate, and building control sign-off is issued where the job needed it. Barbers Bathrooms & Kitchens hands those over at completion, so the file is up to date before the next tenant moves in.

Most of the older terraces and the model village housing have no drive, which puts the skip on the street under a county permit, arranged by the skip firm once dates are set. Traffic is worth thinking about too. The large distribution site on the edge of town brings heavy traffic at shift changes, so we try to time bigger deliveries to avoid the busiest periods rather than have a lorry held up with a kitchen on board. At survey in the rental houses we also note anything outside the job that a tenant would reasonably report, such as a sticking door or a loose stair rail, so you can decide whether to add it.
