Working in Lisburn

In Lisburn we cover BT17, BT26, BT27 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Belfast, 6.7 miles away, and Castlereagh.

In a city the size of Lisburn, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Lisburn bathroom has a soil stack in an awkward corner, the design starts there, because it is the one point that is costly to move. If you are in Lisburn and weighing a bath against a walk-in shower, the layout options show both with their prices.

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 product list covering the suite, brassware, furniture, tiles, lighting and ventilation
A lighting and electrical plan showing switches, fittings, shaver socket and extractor fan
Checks on the soil stack, waste routes, joist direction, water pressure, hot water system and existing electrics

Decisions to make first

Planning for later

Timber noggins in the walls for future grab rails, a wider door or a level shower floor cost far less to build in now than to add later.

The door

Re-hanging the door on the other side, fitting a sliding pocket door or moving the opening can free up a whole wall in a small room.

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.

More about bathroom design

Bathroom design in Lisburn: questions

Do you charge for bathroom design in Lisburn?

Not separately. The home survey, layout options and itemised written quote are free, and the detailed design is part of a supply-and-fit job. A complete designed, supplied and fitted bathroom in Lisburn typically costs £5,700–£10,500 including VAT.

How long does a new bathroom design take?

Allow survey visit plus design 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 Lisburn.

Is the home survey in Lisburn really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BT17 in Lisburn?

Yes. We cover all of Lisburn, including BT17, BT26, BT27 and BT28, and nearby Belfast, Castlereagh and Newtownabbey. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Which bathroom layout changes cost the most?

Moving the WC is usually the costliest single change, because it connects to the soil stack through a 110 mm waste that needs a steady fall. Forming a level-access shower floor and moving a door or wall also add significant cost. Moving a basin a short distance, or swapping a bath for a shower in the same space, costs much less.
