Working in Felling

In Felling we cover NE8, NE9 and NE10; we also cover Gateshead, 1.4 miles away, and Newcastle upon Tyne.

In Felling, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a small Felling bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice. If the door of your Felling bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.

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

Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well

Decisions to make first

Keep the bath or go walk-in

A 1500 or 1600 mm bath keeps a bath in a short room. A walk-in shower with a single glass panel opens up the floor and makes the room read as larger.

Door

Re-hanging the door to open outwards, or fitting a sliding door, frees the space behind it. In a very small room this alone can make space for a bigger shower.

Rules that apply in England

In England, changes to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower are notifiable under Part P, so use an electrician registered with a competent person scheme. If you replace the extractor fan, do not fit one that extracts less than the old one; Approved Document F gives 15 litres per second for an intermittent bathroom fan.

Do you cover NE8 in Felling?

Yes. We cover all of Felling, including NE8, NE9 and NE10, and nearby Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Hebburn. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What storage works in a small bathroom?

Storage that comes off the floor works well: a wall-hung vanity under the basin, a mirror cabinet above it and recessed niches in the shower wall. Boxing around the soil stack or cistern can often be rebuilt with a shelf on top. Avoid deep units that stop the door opening fully.
