Working in Enniskillen

In Enniskillen we cover BT74; we also cover Omagh, 22.3 miles away, and Strabane.

Enniskillen gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Enniskillen bathroom layout is changing, the soil stack position is checked first, because it decides where the WC can go. For Enniskillen homes on a combi boiler, we measure the flow rate at the bathroom before you choose a shower valve.

Water across much of County Fermanagh is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A check of your hot water system, and the pressure and flow rate at the bathroom
Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
New hot and cold pipework in copper or plastic, properly clipped, and insulated where it runs through cold spaces
Isolation valves on every fitting, so taps, cisterns and valves can be serviced without draining the system

Decisions to make first

Copper or plastic

Copper is rigid and suits pipes on show or near the boiler. Plastic is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.

Concealed or exposed valves

Concealed shower valves look neater but need an access route for servicing. Exposed bar valves are easier to reach and replace.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 apply to new fittings. New drainage and connections are a matter for building control.

More about bathroom plumbing

Bathroom plumbing in Enniskillen: questions

What is the price of bathroom plumbing work in Enniskillen?

Bathroom plumbing work in Enniskillen usually costs £550–£3,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover BT74 in Enniskillen?

Yes. We cover all of Enniskillen, including BT74, and nearby Omagh, Strabane and Dungannon. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Enniskillen?

Does bathroom plumbing work in Enniskillen need building control approval?

Building control in Enniskillen 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.

Can a toilet be moved anywhere in a bathroom?

Not anywhere. A WC needs a 110 mm waste with enough fall to reach the soil stack, and the joists limit which way that pipe can run under the floor. Where gravity drainage cannot work, a macerator is an option only if the home also has a WC on gravity drainage.
