Working in North Shields
As well as North Shields itself (NE29, NE30 and NE33), we survey in Tynemouth, South Shields and Whitley Bay.
In North Shields, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In a long, narrow North Shields en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. For a walk-in shower in North Shields, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.
Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in North Shields, 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
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
- 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.
