Working in Portadown
As well as Portadown itself (BT62), we survey in Craigavon, Banbridge and Armagh.
In Portadown, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Portadown, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. We survey cloakrooms in Portadown with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
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
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.
Macerator or gravity
Gravity drainage is silent and needs no maintenance. A macerator lets a WC go where a pipe could not otherwise fall, provided another WC in the house is on gravity drainage.
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.
