Working in Jarrow

We work right across Jarrow — NE28, NE31 and NE32 — and in neighbouring Hebburn and Wallsend.

Homes in and around Jarrow vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey in Jarrow before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen. Landlords with flats or houses in Jarrow can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies.

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.

What the job includes

Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use

Decisions to make first

Same layout or new

Keeping the layout keeps labour in the £2,200 to £4,000 range; moving the WC, shower or basin adds pipework and days.

Who buys the materials

Adhesive, grout, boards, tanking, wastes and fixings can come from you or from us. The quote says which, so nothing is assumed.

Rules that apply in England

In England, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 apply to the products you supply as well as to the installation. Electrical changes such as new lights or a fan are notifiable under Part P and are done by a registered electrician or notified to building control. New drainage or a new connection to the soil stack can be Part H work.

A bathroom fitter removes the old bathroom, installs new pipework and wastes, boards and prepares the walls, tiles, and fits the bath or shower, basin, WC, furniture and accessories. Electrical work in a bathroom is done by a qualified electrician, and any gas work, such as moving a boiler, by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
