Working in Stockton-on-Tees
As well as Stockton-on-Tees itself (TS18, TS19 and TS20), we survey in Billingham, Thornaby-on-Tees and Middlesbrough.
Stockton-on-Tees has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. For a busy Stockton-on-Tees household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. If you have young children at home in Stockton-on-Tees, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.
Water across much of County Durham is moderately hard. 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
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
- Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
- Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
- Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
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.
Storage
A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.
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.
