Working in Newtownards
We cover every part of Newtownards, including BT23, and nearby Bangor (4.8 miles) and Castlereagh (7.9 miles).
Homes in and around Newtownards vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Newtownards, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for. We check the floor under the bath during a Newtownards survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Water across much of County Down is soft. If that holds for your street in Newtownards, 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
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
Decisions to make first
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, building control is only involved if drainage, structure or ventilation change. Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £25,000 are available through the Housing Executive, and wiring should follow BS 7671.
