Working in Newcastle upon Tyne
In Newcastle upon Tyne we cover NE1, NE2, NE3 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Gateshead, 0.9 miles away, 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. In a long, narrow Newcastle upon Tyne en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. If your Newcastle upon Tyne shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether.
Supplies across most of Tyne and Wear are 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
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Decisions to make first
Head
A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.
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.
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.
