Working in Tynemouth
We work right across Tynemouth — NE29, NE30 and NE33 — and in neighbouring North Shields 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. If your Tynemouth loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Tynemouth 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 Tynemouth, 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
- Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
- 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
- A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
Decisions to make first
Eaves storage
Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.
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.
