Working in Castlereagh

As well as Castlereagh itself (BT5, BT6 and BT7), we survey in Belfast, Newtownabbey and Lisburn.

Homes in and around Castlereagh vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey in Castlereagh before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen. If your Castlereagh home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting.

Water across much of County Antrim is soft. 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

Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
Fitting the suite, furniture, screen and accessories, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack

Decisions to make first

Same layout or new

Keeping the layout keeps labour in the £2,200 to £4,000 range; moving the WC, shower or basin adds pipework and days.

Who buys the materials

Adhesive, grout, boards, tanking, wastes and fixings can come from you or from us. The quote says which, so nothing is assumed.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 apply to supplied products, and building control covers new drainage and ventilation. Electrical work follows BS 7671 good practice, with testing and a certificate.

More about bathroom fitting

Bathroom fitting in Castlereagh: questions

What is the price of bathroom fitting in Castlereagh?

Bathroom fitting in Castlereagh usually costs £1,950–£5,300 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Castlereagh 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 BT5 in Castlereagh?

Yes. We cover all of Castlereagh, including BT5, BT6 and BT7, and nearby Belfast, Newtownabbey and Lisburn. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Castlereagh?

Should I buy my own bathroom suite or let the fitter supply it?

Buying your own gives you full choice and can save money in a sale, but you take on deliveries, checking every box and any returns. Supply and fit puts that on the fitter and gives you one price for everything. If you are unsure, ask for both options on the same quote. See fitted bathrooms for supply and fit.
