Working in Armagh
In Armagh we cover BT61; we also cover Portadown, 10.3 miles away, and Dungannon.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Armagh: free survey, written quote, one team. We survey cloakrooms in Armagh with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly. Where your Armagh home already has a WC on gravity drainage, a macerator opens up more places a new cloakroom can go.
Most of County Armagh is supplied with soft water. 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
- A survey that checks the headroom under the stairs, the door swing and how the waste will reach the drain
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- Splashback or feature tiling and a new floor, often LVT or porcelain
Decisions to make first
WC style
A wall-hung WC on a frame gives the most floor space and looks neat. A back-to-wall pan in a short furniture unit is easier to fit against an uneven wall.
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.
