Working in Hartlepool
As well as Hartlepool itself (TS24, TS25 and TS26), we survey in Peterlee, Billingham and Middlesbrough.
Hartlepool has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Hartlepool home has hard water, we talk through brassware and stone finishes that will still look good after a year of daily use. If your Hartlepool home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts.
Water across much of County Durham is moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
- Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
- Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
Decisions to make first
Lighting
Layer it: IP-rated ceiling lights for general use, a lit mirror at the basin and low-level LED in niches or plinths for night, each on its own switch or dimmer.
Shower system
A concealed thermostatic valve with a ceiling head and handset is the usual choice. A digital valve sets the temperature from a wall panel, and a steam enclosure needs its own generator and supply.
Rules that apply in England
In England, the new circuits a luxury bathroom often needs, for underfloor heating, a steam unit or a digital shower, are notifiable under Part P. An unvented hot-water cylinder, often fitted to feed a large shower, must be installed by a G3-qualified installer, and any work on the boiler must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
