Working in Tynemouth
We cover every part of Tynemouth, including NE29, NE30 and NE33, and nearby North Shields (0.9 miles) and South Shields (1.4 miles).
In Tynemouth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For an en-suite in Tynemouth, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If you live in a Tynemouth flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.
Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. If that holds for your street in Tynemouth, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
- IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
Decisions to make first
Door type
An outward-opening door frees floor space inside. A sliding pocket door saves space on both sides but needs a stud wall long enough to take the cassette.
Night lighting
A mirror light or low-level LED strip on its own switch lets you use the en-suite at night without the full glare of the ceiling lights.
Rules that apply in England
In England, a new en-suite brings in Part H for the new connection to the soil stack, Approved Document F for ventilation, at 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous extract, and Part P for the new circuits. The electrician should be registered with a competent person scheme, or the work notified to building control. On a refit, avoid replacing the fan with a less effective one.
