Working in Blaydon-on-Tyne

We work right across Blaydon-on-Tyne — NE15, NE21 and NE40 — and in neighbouring Whickham and Newburn.

Blaydon-on-Tyne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a wet room in a Blaydon-on-Tyne flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts. We quote wet rooms in Blaydon-on-Tyne only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies.

Supplies across most of Tyne and Wear are soft. If that holds for your street in Blaydon-on-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

A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor

Decisions to make first

Former or screed

A pre-formed board gives a consistent fall and suits timber floors. A sand and cement screed suits concrete slabs and larger shower areas.

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

Rules that apply in England

In England, a new drain connection or changes at the soil stack can be building-regulations work under Part H, and new circuits or changes to the wiring in the room are notifiable under Part P. If the wet room is a newly formed bathroom, Approved Document F requires extract of 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous.

Do wet rooms leak?

A properly tanked wet room should not leak. When one does, the cause is usually a gap in the membrane at a corner or pipe, a poor drain connection, or a floor that flexes and splits the seal. Leaks in wet rooms are expensive to trace, which is why the floor is stiffened first and the tanking is checked before tiling.
