Working in Portadown

We work right across Portadown — BT62 — and in neighbouring Craigavon and Banbridge.

Homes in and around Portadown vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Portadown 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. A renovation survey in Portadown looks behind the surfaces, at joists, pipework and wiring, before any figure is put on paper.

Supplies across most of County Armagh 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

Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
New hot and cold pipework and wastes, with isolation valves to each fitting
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation

Decisions to make first

Shower floor

With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.

Plaster or boards

Plaster suits dry walls that will be painted. Cement-based tile backer boards are the better base behind showers and under heavy tiles.

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.
