Which rules apply in the North East?
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the presence of asbestos must be assessed (or presumed) before work that could disturb it, and a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before intrusive work in buildings built or refurbished before 2000. Licensed asbestos work is carried out only by licensed contractors.
What does it cost in the North East?
Our guide range for a bathroom in a replacement programme in the North East is £4,950–£7,200 per bathroom. That is the UK range of £5,500–£8,000 (published figure) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 0.90 (VOA Rating Cost Guide 2026: 0.89–0.93); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
How do we deliver it?
Residents are visited before work starts, given dates in writing and told exactly what each day involves. Disruption is planned rather than discovered.
