Working in Hartlepool
As well as Hartlepool itself (TS24, TS25 and TS26), we survey in Peterlee, Billingham and Middlesbrough.
Across a large town like Hartlepool, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Hartlepool home has just one bathroom, we plan the fit so the toilet is working again at the end of each day wherever the job allows. For a busy Hartlepool household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout.
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
- Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
- A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
Decisions to make first
Screen or curtain
Glass keeps water in better than a curtain and does not go mouldy at the hem. A folding or hinged screen swings out of the way when you are kneeling to bath a child.
Shower over the bath or separate
A shower over the bath with a fixed or hinged screen is the most space-efficient. A separate enclosure needs roughly another square metre of floor but means the bath queue no longer holds up the shower queue.
Rules that apply in England
In England, any new circuit, or any change to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower, is notifiable under Part P. Part G limits the hot water at a new bath to 48 °C only in a new dwelling or one created by change of use; it does not apply to a replacement bath in an existing house, but a thermostatic valve is a sensible choice where children bathe.
