Which towns do we cover in Northumberland?
Water across much of Northumberland is soft. 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. We survey in Blyth before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.
What the job includes
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
- A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
- First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
- Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
- Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
Decisions to make first
Heating
A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.
Wall-hung or floor-standing
Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.
Tiling height
Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.
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.
Rules that apply in England
Like-for-like bathroom refits do not need planning permission. Electrical work in a room with a bath or shower must meet BS 7671, with RCD protection on every circuit and IP-rated fittings in the zones around the bath and shower. New toilets, taps and showers must meet the water fittings rules where you live, which limit flush volumes and stop dirty water flowing back into the mains.
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.
