Durham Homeowners Trust BestBuilders
Cloakroom WC fit-out in Durham, North East. Stripped to brickwork, new soil pipe routing, walk-in shower with linear drain. Total project £8200, 12 days end to end. Snagging list cleared in two visits, none of the half-jobs we had with the last lot. Insurance loved the certification trail.
Used BestBuilders to find a bathroom fitter near Durham. Five firms quoted, narrowed it to two on detail, picked the mid-priced option for the itemised waterproofing detail. Existing CH balanced after the new towel rail went on, no cold radiators. Recommended to my brother in Durham too.
Four months in and the underfloor heating is the standout - no cold tile shock first thing. Replaced the shower head when the spray pattern degraded after 11 months. Worth the spend twice over.
