Working in Omagh

As well as Omagh itself (BT78 and BT79), we survey in Strabane, Enniskillen and Cookstown.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Omagh: free survey, written quote, one team. In Omagh flats, any change to the WC or wastes is planned with the lease and the flat below in mind. If your Omagh water is hard, a scale reducer or softener on the bathroom supplies can protect valves and shower heads.

Supplies across most of County Tyrone are 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

The WC connected to the soil stack, or a new branch where the WC is moving
A pressure test of new pipework before walls are closed in and floors go down
Draining down and isolating supplies, with the rest of the house back on water as soon as possible
Shower pumps on gravity systems, and macerators or pumped wastes where gravity drainage cannot reach

Decisions to make first

Hard water

In hard water areas, a scale reducer or water softener protects valves, shower heads and glass. Keep an unsoftened tap in the kitchen for drinking.

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 Omagh: questions

How much should I budget for bathroom plumbing work in Omagh?

Bathroom plumbing work in Omagh usually costs £550–£3,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover BT78 and BT79 in Omagh?

Yes. We cover all of Omagh, including BT78 and BT79, and nearby Strabane, Enniskillen and Cookstown. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Omagh?

Does bathroom plumbing work in Omagh need building control approval?

Building control in Omagh 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.
