Working in Gateshead

As well as Gateshead itself (NE1, NE8, NE9 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Newcastle upon Tyne, Felling and Gosforth.

Across a large town like Gateshead, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We survey in Gateshead before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. Whether your Gateshead bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site.

Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. 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

Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
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

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.

Good fitted furniture uses moisture-resistant boards, sealed edges and a worktop sealed to the wall. It is designed for a bathroom, but standing water should still be wiped up. Ask for the carcass material and edge banding on the quote.
