Working in Gosforth

We work right across Gosforth — NE2, NE3 and NE7 — and in neighbouring Newcastle upon Tyne and Gateshead.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Gosforth: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are planning a wet room in Gosforth for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. If your Gosforth home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Most of Tyne and Wear is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Gosforth, 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 frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it

Decisions to make first

Linear or centre drain

A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

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.

Wet rooms in Gosforth: questions

How much does a wet room cost in Gosforth?

A wet room in Gosforth usually costs £5,400–£10,750 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Gosforth really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover NE2 in Gosforth?

Yes. We cover all of Gosforth, including NE2, NE3 and NE7, and nearby Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Wallsend. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Gosforth?

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
