Working in Larne

As well as Larne itself (BT40), we survey in Carrickfergus, Newtownabbey and Bangor.

Larne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We survey in Larne before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen. Landlords with flats or houses in Larne can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies.

Supplies across most of County Antrim are 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

Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked

Decisions to make first

Fit-only or supply and fit

Fit-only lets you choose and buy every product yourself; supply and fit puts sourcing, deliveries and returns on us, with one price for everything.

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.

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.

What does a bathroom fitter do?

A bathroom fitter removes the old bathroom, installs new pipework and wastes, boards and prepares the walls, tiles, and fits the bath or shower, basin, WC, furniture and accessories. Electrical work in a bathroom is done by a qualified electrician, and any gas work, such as moving a boiler, by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
