Working in Newton Aycliffe
We work right across Newton Aycliffe — DL4 and DL5 — and in neighbouring Bishop Auckland and Spennymoor.
In Newton Aycliffe, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Newton Aycliffe bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Newton Aycliffe bathroom, we show you both options before you decide.
Supplies across most of County Durham are 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
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
- First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
- Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
- Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
Decisions to make first
Bath, shower or both
Keep a bath for children or soaking, swap it for a walk-in shower if no one uses it, or plan both if the room is big enough.
Wall-hung or floor-standing
Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.
Rules that apply in England
In England, new circuits and most electrical changes in a bathroom are notifiable under Part P, so they must be done by an electrician registered with a competent person scheme or notified to building control. If you are adding a new extractor fan, Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second as the usual intermittent extract rate.
