Working in Derry

In Derry we cover BT47 and BT48; we also cover Limavady, 14.7 miles away, and Coleraine.

In a city the size of Derry, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. For Derry bathrooms keeping the same layout, fit-only is the cheaper route, because the pipework stays largely where it is. If your Derry home runs on a combi boiler or an unvented cylinder, we check your chosen shower valve suits it before fitting.

Most of County Londonderry 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

First and second-fix plumbing: supplies, wastes, isolation valves and the connection to the soil stack
Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
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.

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 Derry: questions

How much does bathroom fitting cost in Derry?

Bathroom fitting in Derry 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.

Do you cover BT47 and BT48 in Derry?

Yes. We cover all of Derry, including BT47 and BT48, and nearby Limavady, Coleraine and Magherafelt. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Derry?

Does bathroom fitting in Derry need building control approval?

Building control in Derry is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

Will you fit a bathroom suite I bought online?

Yes. Send us the product list or links before the survey, and we will check sizes, wastes, valves and the cistern type against your room and plumbing. Missing or mismatched parts cause most fit-only delays, and they are far easier to sort before the start date than halfway through.
