Working in North Shields

We work right across North Shields — NE29, NE30 and NE33 — and in neighbouring Tynemouth and South Shields.

In North Shields, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords with flats or houses in North Shields can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies. If you have bought a suite and need it fitted in North Shields, we check the product list before booking so the job is not held up by a missing part.

Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. 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

Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack

Decisions to make first

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.

Delivery timing

Having everything delivered and checked before the start date avoids a half-finished room while a missing part is sent again.

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.

Is the home survey in North Shields really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover NE29 in North Shields?

Yes. We cover all of North Shields, including NE29, NE30 and NE33, and nearby Tynemouth, South Shields and Whitley Bay. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in North Shields?

Should I buy my own bathroom suite or let the fitter supply it?

Buying your own gives you full choice and can save money in a sale, but you take on deliveries, checking every box and any returns. Supply and fit puts that on the fitter and gives you one price for everything. If you are unsure, ask for both options on the same quote. See fitted bathrooms for supply and fit.
