Working in Stockton-on-Tees
We work right across Stockton-on-Tees — TS18, TS19 and TS20 — and in neighbouring Billingham and Thornaby-on-Tees.
Stockton-on-Tees has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For Stockton-on-Tees houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If someone in your Stockton-on-Tees home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Water across much of County Durham is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Stockton-on-Tees. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
Decisions to make first
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
Rules that apply in England
In England, adding an electric shower usually means a new circuit, which is notifiable under Part P, as is any change to the wiring in the bathroom. Where the conversion is an adaptation for a disabled person, a Disabled Facilities Grant of up to £30,000 may help, but the council must approve it before work starts.
