Working in Limavady

In Limavady we cover BT49; we also cover Coleraine, 12.6 miles away, and Derry.

Limavady gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you have bought a suite and need it fitted in Limavady, we check the product list before booking so the job is not held up by a missing part. If your Limavady 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
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, and removal of the waste
Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing

Decisions to make first

Making good

Decide whether you want the quote to cover making good and decorating, or to stop at the tiles so you can paint yourself.

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.
