Working in Newburn
We work right across Newburn — NE5 and NE15 — and in neighbouring Blaydon-on-Tyne and Whickham.
In Newburn, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you have bought a suite and need it fitted in Newburn, we check the product list before booking so the job is not held up by a missing part. For Newburn bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is.
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
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
- A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
Decisions to make first
Tiling
Some customers tile themselves or use a separate tiler. That can work, but the order of trades and who tanks the shower area must be agreed 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.
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.
