Working in Newry

As well as Newry itself (BT35), we survey in Banbridge, Portadown and Armagh.

In Newry, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey in Newry 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 Newry can supply their own standard suites and have them fitted between tenancies.

Most of County Down 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

Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
A check of your product list against the room and the plumbing before the job is booked
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us
Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early

Decisions to make first

Delivery timing

Having everything delivered and checked before the start date avoids a half-finished room while a missing part is sent again.

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.
