Working in Magherafelt
We work right across Magherafelt — BT45 and BT46 — and in neighbouring Cookstown and Ballymena.
Magherafelt gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Magherafelt home to go with the application. For Magherafelt 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.
Most of County Londonderry is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Magherafelt, 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 thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
- A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
Decisions to make first
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
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.
