Working in Whitley Bay
As well as Whitley Bay itself (NE25, NE26 and NE30), we survey in North Shields, Tynemouth and South Shields.
In Whitley Bay, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are in Whitley Bay and short of storage, a tall unit at the end of the run holds what would otherwise sit on the floor. If your Whitley Bay bathroom has pipes running along the walls, a fitted run can box them in neatly while adding storage.
Water across much of Tyne and Wear is 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 concealed cistern or cistern frame, with an isolation valve you can reach through the flush plate or a panel
- Measuring every wall for length, height and how far it is out of square
- Supply of carcasses, doors, plinths, fillers and end panels in your chosen finish
- Removal of the old basin, WC or cabinets, with redundant supplies capped
Decisions to make first
Tall storage
A tall unit at the end of the run takes towels and cleaning products off the floor. Check it clears the door, window and towel rail.
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.
