Working in Jarrow
In Jarrow we cover NE28, NE31 and NE32; we also cover Hebburn, 1.3 miles away, and Wallsend.
In Jarrow, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Jarrow 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. We survey in Jarrow before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.
Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. 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
- A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
- 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
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.
