Working in Sunderland
We work right across Sunderland — SR1, SR2, SR6 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Seaham and Washington.
Sunderland is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. Whether your Sunderland bathroom is a compact box room or a larger main bathroom, the layout starts from measurements taken on site. For homes in Sunderland 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
- Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
- A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
- 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
Tiling height
Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.
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.
