Working in Gosforth

In Gosforth we cover NE2, NE3 and NE7; we also cover Newcastle upon Tyne, 1.8 miles away, and Gateshead.

Gosforth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We plan loft bathrooms in Gosforth around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. If your Gosforth loft shower is weak or the waste drains slowly, the fix is often in the pump or the pipe fall rather than the shower itself.

Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Gosforth, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage

Decisions to make first

Gravity or pumped waste

Gravity is silent and maintenance-free. A pumped waste or macerator lets fittings sit away from the stack, provided the house has a WC on gravity drainage elsewhere.

Getting the water pressure

A pumped shower suits a gravity system with a cold tank; an electric shower heats cold mains water at the point of use; a combi or unvented cylinder gives mains pressure throughout.

Rules that apply in England

In England, new drainage and a new connection to the soil stack fall under Part H, a new bathroom needs extract of 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous under Approved Document F, and new circuits are notifiable under Part P. If the work includes an unvented hot-water cylinder, it must be fitted by a G3-qualified installer.

Do you cover NE2 in Gosforth?

Yes. We cover all of Gosforth, including NE2, NE3 and NE7, and nearby Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Wallsend. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Gosforth?

How much headroom do you need for a loft shower?

Plan for around 2 m of clear height over the whole shower area, and enough standing height in front of the basin and WC. A bath can sit lower under the slope as long as you can stand up where you get in and out. We mark the usable height at each position on the survey drawing.
