Working in Newcastle upon Tyne
We work right across Newcastle upon Tyne — NE1, NE2, NE3 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Gateshead and Felling.
Newcastle upon Tyne is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For a stone or cast-iron bath in a Newcastle upon Tyne property, we check the floor structure before anything is ordered. If your Newcastle upon Tyne home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts.
Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. 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
- 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
- A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
- A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
