SET Building & Brickwork fits bathrooms in Chelmsford and the surrounding parts of Essex. We price every job after a visit to the property.

Your new bathroom, planned with you

We go through the layout, the suite and the tiles with you, and tell you straight what the space and the waste runs allow. With over 15 years in the trade, we know where bathrooms go wrong and build them so they do not.

Planning rules in Chelmsford

Planning applications in Chelmsford go to Chelmsford City Council. The council has 26 conservation areas, nine of them in the city itself, including Moulsham Street and the West End.

Some jobs need a full application and some fall under permitted development. We tell you which applies before you pay for drawings, and build to your architect's and structural engineer's drawings.

Building control in Chelmsford

Building regulations are signed off separately from planning. Where your bathroom needs building regulations approval, we book the inspections with Chelmsford City Council or an approved inspector and see it through to the completion certificate.

Questions about bathroom renovations in Chelmsford

How do I get a quote?

Whichever suits you best: call us on 07792 625391, message us on WhatsApp, or fill in our short enquiry form. We will arrange a time to come and see the property, then put a written quote together.

Can you move the bathroom layout?

Yes, as long as the waste can reach the soil pipe with enough fall. We check that for you when we look at the room.

Do you tile as part of the work?

Yes. Tiling, waterproofing and the finishing work are all part of the job, so there is nothing to arrange separately.

We couldn’t be happier with the work Shaun and his team done for us! From the extension through to the internal refurbishments, everything has been completed to a really high standard with great attention to detail…

Shaun and his team have carried out a large extension for me at Chelmsford over the last 5 months. Was impressed at how quick his team completed the work. Skilled and experienced on groundworks, brickwork, structural steelwork, roofing and driveways. Has managed the project well and given us honest advice throughout. Very grateful to have found a building company we can trust, at a competitive price. Recommend 100%
