Working in Carrickfergus
We cover every part of Carrickfergus, including BT38, and nearby Newtownabbey (5.6 miles) and Bangor (6.7 miles).
In Carrickfergus, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whether your Carrickfergus bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic. If you have just bought a house in Carrickfergus, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust.
Water across much of County Antrim is soft. 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
- A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
- New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
- Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
Decisions to make first
Pipe material
Copper suits exposed runs and the area near the boiler. Plastic pipe is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.
Shower floor
With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, building control covers drainage, structural changes and ventilation, with ventilation set out in Technical Booklet K. There is no Part P, but new wiring should be designed, tested and certified to BS 7671.
