Working in Newton Aycliffe
In Newton Aycliffe we cover DL4 and DL5; we also cover Bishop Auckland, 4.9 miles away, and Spennymoor.
In Newton Aycliffe, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a period house in Newton Aycliffe with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room. If your Newton Aycliffe home has hard water, we talk through brassware and stone finishes that will still look good after a year of daily use.
Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. 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
- Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
- Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
- A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
- Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
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.
Freestanding bath material
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch. Stone resin holds heat and feels solid but is much heavier. Cast iron is the heaviest of all and nearly always needs a structural check.
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.
