Working in Newcastle upon Tyne
As well as Newcastle upon Tyne itself (NE1, NE2, NE3 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Gateshead, Felling and Whickham.
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. If your Newcastle upon Tyne bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit. We measure small bathrooms in Newcastle upon Tyne to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits.
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
- Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
- Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
- Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
Decisions to make first
Glass
Clear glass with a slim profile or none lets the eye travel through the room. A fixed panel needs no clearance for a door to swing.
WC type
A short-projection close-coupled WC sits closer to the wall than a standard pan. A wall-hung WC on a concealed frame shows the floor beneath it and is easier to clean around.
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.
