Water in Tyne and Wear
Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
Rules for bathrooms in England
A like-for-like bathroom refit does not need planning permission. Electrical work in a bathroom must meet BS 7671, with RCD protection and IP-rated fittings near the bath and shower, and new taps, toilets and showers must meet the water fittings rules.
In England, new circuits and most changes to wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so a registered electrician certifies them. New drainage or a new extractor where there was none can also be building regulations work; we tell you at the survey and handle the notification.
