Working in North Shields
We work right across North Shields — NE29, NE30 and NE33 — and in neighbouring Tynemouth and South Shields.
Homes in and around North Shields vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey in North Shields before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. For homes in North Shields where the bathroom is the only one, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as short a time as possible.
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
- First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
- Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
- Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
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.
Tiling height
Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.
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.
