Working in Tynemouth

In Tynemouth we cover NE29, NE30 and NE33; we also cover North Shields, 0.9 miles away, and South Shields.

In Tynemouth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For homes in Tynemouth 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. We survey in Tynemouth before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Water across much of Tyne and Wear 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

Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
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.

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

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.

Who handles building control for a fitted bathroom in Tynemouth?

Building control for Tynemouth 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.

Do I need to be at home while the bathroom is fitted?

No, as long as we can get in each day and you are around at the start and at handover. You can give us a key or let us in each morning. We will need your water and power turned off at times, and we will tell you when.
