Working in Newcastle upon Tyne
As well as Newcastle upon Tyne itself (NE1, NE2, NE3 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Gateshead, Felling and Whickham.
In a city the size of Newcastle upon Tyne, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Newcastle upon Tyne home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Newcastle upon Tyne home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting.
Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Newcastle upon Tyne, 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
- Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
- A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
- An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
Decisions to make first
Roof window
A roof window over the bath or shower brings daylight and fresh air, but plan the blind for privacy and expect condensation on cold glass.
Where the shower goes
Under the ridge or in a dormer, where the full height is. A walk-in shower with a single panel is usually easier to fit to a roof line than a framed enclosure.
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.
