Working in Gateshead
In Gateshead we cover NE1, NE8, NE9 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Newcastle upon Tyne, 0.9 miles away, and Felling.
Gateshead has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. We measure Gateshead bathrooms wall by wall before ordering, so the run is made for your room. If your Gateshead home has uneven walls, fillers and end panels are scribed to them on site rather than left with gaps.
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
- A worktop cut to length, with basin and tap cut-outs and sealed edges
- Tall units fixed to the wall, doors adjusted and soft-close hinges set
- Basin, tap and waste connected, and the WC pan fixed and joined to the soil pipe
- Removal of the old basin, WC or cabinets, with redundant supplies capped
Decisions to make first
Carcass board
Moisture-resistant board with sealed edges is the minimum. Some ranges use a PVC-based or similar carcass that copes better with splashes and leaks.
Lighting in the run
Plinth lights and an illuminated mirror cabinet must be planned at first fix, because the cables run inside the furniture and need RCD protection.
Rules that apply in England
In England, wiring a lit mirror or plinth lights means altering a circuit in a room with a bath or shower, which is notifiable under Part P. The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 cover the new WC and basin taps.
