Working in Ashington
In Ashington we cover NE62, NE63 and NE64; we also cover Bedlington, 3.4 miles away, and Blyth.
In Ashington, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are planning ahead in Ashington for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. If your Ashington shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.
Water across much of Northumberland is 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
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Decisions to make first
Tray or tiled floor
A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.
Glass thickness
8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.
Rules that apply in England
In England, moving or adding lights, a fan or a shower circuit in a room with a bath or shower is notifiable under Part P. A tiled level floor that needs a new drain connection at the soil stack can bring in Part H.
