What does a cloakroom or downstairs WC cost in Antrim?
In Antrim, a cloakroom or downstairs WC typically costs £1,600–£4,000 including VAT, based on Northern Ireland prices. Prices in Northern Ireland run at about 12% below the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Antrim
We work right across Antrim — BT29 and BT41 — and in neighbouring Ballymena and Newtownabbey.
Antrim gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the only toilet in your Antrim home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. If your Antrim cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
Water across much of County Antrim 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
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
Decisions to make first
Door
An outward-opening door is usually needed so it does not hit the WC. A sliding door suits a narrow hallway where an outward door would block the way.
Under-stair layout
Headroom drops quickly under stairs. The basin and the space in front of the WC need standing height; the low end of the room can take the cistern or storage.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, building control covers new drainage and ventilation, with ventilation set out in Technical Booklet K. The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 limit a new WC to a 6-litre flush.
