Working in Castlereagh

We cover every part of Castlereagh, including BT5, BT6 and BT7, and nearby Belfast (2.3 miles) and Newtownabbey (6 miles).

In Castlereagh, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For loft rooms and sloping ceilings in Castlereagh homes, the design checks head height where you stand, not just the floor area. We measure Castlereagh bathrooms on site before drawing anything, so layouts are based on your walls rather than a standard plan.

Most of County Antrim is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A measured survey of the room, including ceiling heights, slopes, window and door positions and any boxing
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
A conversation about who uses the room, when, and what does not work about the current one
Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics

Decisions to make first

Keep or change the layout

Keeping the WC and shower where they are saves on plumbing. The WC is the costly one to move, because it is tied to the soil stack.

Where the shower goes

A shower on an outside wall is easier to ventilate; one under a sloping ceiling needs full head height where you stand, not just at the high side.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control covers new drainage, structural changes and ventilation, which is set out in Technical Booklet K. There is no Part P, but the electrical plan should be designed, tested and certified to BS 7671.

What happens at a bathroom design survey?

At the survey we measure and photograph the room and check the soil stack, waste routes, joists, water pressure, hot water system, electrics and ventilation. We also ask how the room is used and what you want to change. Everything that limits the layout is found at this stage, so the options we draw can actually be built.
