Working in North Shields

In North Shields we cover NE29, NE30 and NE33; we also cover Tynemouth, 0.9 miles away, and South Shields.

In North Shields, 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 North Shields with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room. If your North Shields 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 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
Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking

Decisions to make first

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.

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 North Shields?

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.
