What does a cloakroom or downstairs WC cost in Coleraine?
Our guide price for a cloakroom or downstairs WC in Coleraine is £1,600–£4,000 including VAT. 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 Coleraine
As well as Coleraine itself (BT51, BT52 and BT55), we survey in Limavady, Magherafelt and Derry.
Homes in and around Coleraine vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the only toilet in your Coleraine home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips. If your Coleraine cloakroom has no window, we size and duct the extractor fan so the room clears properly.
Supplies across most of County Londonderry are 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
- Compact sanitaryware: a short-projection, back-to-wall or wall-hung WC and a corner, wall-hung or slim vanity basin
- A new waste connection to the soil stack or drain, or a macerator where the rules allow it
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
