Working in Blaydon-on-Tyne
We cover every part of Blaydon-on-Tyne, including NE15, NE21 and NE40, and nearby Whickham (2 miles) and Newburn (2 miles).
Blaydon-on-Tyne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Where your Blaydon-on-Tyne home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go. We survey cloakrooms in Blaydon-on-Tyne with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
Decisions to make first
Macerator or gravity
Gravity drainage is silent and needs no maintenance. A macerator lets a WC go where a pipe could not otherwise fall, provided another WC in the house is on gravity drainage.
Finishes
A small room can carry a bolder tile or wallpaper. A feature wall behind the WC costs far less here than in a full bathroom because there is so little of it.
Rules that apply in England
In England, a new WC connected to the soil stack or drain is drainage work under Part H, and a newly formed cloakroom without an opening window should have mechanical extract; Approved Document F gives 6 litres per second as the design rate for a WC, against 15 for a bathroom. Because a cloakroom has no bath or shower, adding a light to an existing circuit is not notifiable under Part P, but a new circuit is.
