What does a cloakroom or downstairs WC cost in Derry?
In Derry, a cloakroom or downstairs WC typically costs £1,600–£4,000 including VAT, based on Northern Ireland prices. We adjust the national guide for Northern Ireland, where prices are typically about 12% below the UK average. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Derry
As well as Derry itself (BT47 and BT48), we survey in Limavady, Coleraine and Magherafelt.
In a city the size of Derry, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you are refreshing a dated cloakroom in Derry, a wall-hung WC and slim vanity can change the room in a few days. If the only toilet in your Derry home is upstairs, a cloakroom under the stairs or in the utility can save a lot of trips.
Water across much of County Londonderry 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 concealed cistern frame or WC unit where the space allows
- Strip-out of the old fittings, waste removal and making good on the hall side
- Lighting wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Decisions to make first
Basin
A corner basin fits the tightest rooms. A slim vanity basin with a cupboard underneath gives somewhere to keep spare toilet rolls and soap, and hides the trap.
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.
