Working in Bangor

In Bangor we cover BT19 and BT20; we also cover Newtownards, 4.8 miles away, and Carrickfergus.

In a city the size of Bangor, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If someone in your Bangor home is finding the bath hard to get in and out of, a level-access shower in the same space is usually the first option we look at. For Bangor homes where the only toilet is in the bathroom, we plan the work so it stays usable for as much of the job as possible.

Supplies across most of County Down are soft. If that holds for your street in Bangor, 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

Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room

Decisions to make first

Walk-in bath

A door or low-entry bath suits people who want to keep bathing, but you have to sit inside while it fills and drains.

Seat

A wall-mounted fold-down seat saves space and stays put. A freestanding shower stool is portable but takes floor space and can shift.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £25,000 are handled through the Housing Executive. Building control covers changes to drainage and ventilation, and wiring should follow BS 7671.

Accessible bathrooms in Bangor: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in Bangor?

An accessible bathroom in Bangor usually costs £5,300–£12,250 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover BT19 and BT20 in Bangor?

Yes. We cover all of Bangor, including BT19 and BT20, and nearby Newtownards, Carrickfergus and Newtownabbey. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Bangor?

Does an accessible bathroom in Bangor need building control approval?

Building control in Bangor is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

Do I pay VAT on a disabled bathroom?

Often not. Building work to adapt a home for a disabled person, such as converting a bath to a level-access shower, can be zero-rated under HMRC VAT Notice 701/7. It is not means-tested; the person, or someone on their behalf, signs an eligibility declaration. We go through which items qualify with you before quoting.
