Working in Gateshead

In Gateshead we cover NE1, NE8, NE9 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Newcastle upon Tyne, 0.9 miles away, and Felling.

Across a large town like Gateshead, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If your Gateshead home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Gateshead property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered.

Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A full snag check, sealing of stone where needed, and a handover of manuals and isolation points
Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it

Decisions to make first

Brassware finish

Chrome is the easiest to keep clean. Brushed brass, nickel and matt black look striking but show limescale marks unless they are wiped down.

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Gateshead?

What does a steam shower need?

A steam shower is a fully sealed enclosure or room with a generator that fills it with steam. It needs its own electrical circuit, a sealed door, usually a sloped ceiling so condensation runs off rather than dripping, full tanking and a drain. It has to be planned into the room from the start, not added later.
