Working in Felling
We work right across Felling — NE8, NE9 and NE10 — and in neighbouring Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne.
Homes in and around Felling vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Felling, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. We survey cloakrooms in Felling with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
Supplies across most of Tyne and Wear are soft. 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
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
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.
Door
An outward-opening door is usually needed so it does not hit the WC. A sliding door suits a narrow hallway where an outward door would block the way.
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.
