Working in Newry
In Newry we cover BT35; we also cover Banbridge, 12.1 miles away, and Portadown.
Homes in and around Newry vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the only toilet in your Newry home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. We survey cloakrooms in Newry with the headroom in mind as well as the floor area, because under-stair spaces lose height quickly.
Water across much of County Down 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
- An extractor fan ducted to outside, wired with an overrun timer or linked to the light
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- A concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
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.
