Working in North Shields
In North Shields we cover NE29, NE30 and NE33; we also cover Tynemouth, 0.9 miles away, and South Shields.
Homes in and around North Shields vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your North Shields home has uneven walls, fillers and end panels are scribed to them on site rather than left with gaps. Rented homes in North Shields are well served by slab doors and sealed worktops, which stand up to a change of tenants.
Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. 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
- Fillers and end panels scribed to the walls, and the worktop sealed with silicone
- Basin, tap and waste connected, and the WC pan fixed and joined to the soil pipe
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
