Working in Blyth

We cover every part of Blyth, including NE23 and NE24, and nearby Bedlington (3.4 miles) and Ashington (4.1 miles).

In Blyth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Fitted furniture suits the many Blyth bathrooms that have to hold towels, toiletries and cleaning things for a whole household. Whether your Blyth bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site.

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.

What the job includes

Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
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

Decisions to make first

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.

Heating

A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.

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.

Is the water hard in Blyth?

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Blyth?

Building control for Blyth is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What is the difference between a fitted bathroom and a normal bathroom?

In a fitted bathroom the basin, WC and storage are built into one continuous run of furniture, with the cistern and pipes hidden behind panels and a worktop across the top. A standard bathroom uses separate pieces, such as a pedestal basin and close-coupled toilet, which leave gaps and visible pipework.
