Working in Ashington

We cover every part of Ashington, including NE62, NE63 and NE64, and nearby Bedlington (3.4 miles) and Blyth (4.1 miles).

In Ashington, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For shower rooms in Ashington, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. Where a Ashington shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Supplies across most of Northumberland are soft. If that holds for your street in Ashington, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

Tray or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any change to the wiring in the shower room, or a new circuit for an electric shower, is notifiable under Part P. If you are replacing the fan, keep it at least as effective as the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second intermittent for a bathroom.

Will a shower room put buyers off?
