We work right across Thornaby-on-Tees — TS16, TS17 and TS18 — and in neighbouring Stockton-on-Tees and Yarm.
Thornaby-on-Tees gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Whether your Thornaby-on-Tees bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic. If your Thornaby-on-Tees home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense.
Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
- A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
- Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
- Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Decisions to make first
Shower floor
With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.
Pipe material
Copper suits exposed runs and the area near the boiler. Plastic pipe is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.
Rules that apply in England
In England, structural changes, new drainage or a new connection to the soil stack under Part H, and new circuits under Part P can all be building regulations work. A registered electrician can self-certify the electrics; structural and drainage work may need a building notice or a full plans application to building control.
