Working in Newry

We cover every part of Newry, including BT35, and nearby Banbridge (12.1 miles) and Portadown (17.4 miles).

Homes in and around Newry vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Newry home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Newry home to go with the application.

Most of County Down is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Newry, 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 basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision

Decisions to make first

Screen or curtain

A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Newry: questions

How much does an accessible bathroom cost in Newry?

An accessible bathroom in Newry usually costs £5,300–£12,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the water hard in Newry?

Does an accessible bathroom in Newry need building control approval?

Building control in Newry 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.

How long does an accessible bathroom take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Newry.

Where should grab rails go in a bathroom?

Grab rails go where you need support to move: beside the WC, at the shower entry, near the shower seat and sometimes beside the basin. The right heights depend on the person, so we set them at the survey with the person who will use them, or follow an occupational therapist recommendation if there is one.
