Working in Lisburn

As well as Lisburn itself (BT17, BT26, BT27 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Belfast, Castlereagh and Newtownabbey.

In a city the size of Lisburn, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you have just bought a house in Lisburn, renovating the bathroom before moving in saves living through the dust. If your Lisburn home is older and the bathroom still has original pipework or plaster behind the tiles, the survey shows whether a renovation or a refit makes more sense.

Supplies across most of County Antrim are 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

Layout changes such as moved doors, new stud walls or boxing for concealed cisterns
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas

Decisions to make first

How far back to strip

Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.

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.
