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.
In a city the size of Newcastle upon Tyne, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Where a Newcastle upon Tyne shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. For shower rooms in Newcastle upon Tyne, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.
Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. If that holds for your street in Newcastle upon Tyne, 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
- Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
- Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
- Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Decisions to make first
Glass
8 mm toughened glass is the usual standard for a walk-in panel. An easy-clean coating helps a great deal in hard-water areas.
Storage
With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.
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.
