Working in Belfast

As well as Belfast itself (BT1, BT2, BT3 and 11 more postcode districts), we survey in Newtownabbey, Lisburn and Newtownards.

In a city the size of Belfast, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. For an en-suite in Belfast, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If you live in a Belfast flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.

Water across much of County Antrim is soft. If that holds for your street in Belfast, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear

Decisions to make first

Door type

An outward-opening door frees floor space inside. A sliding pocket door saves space on both sides but needs a stud wall long enough to take the cassette.

Noise

Acoustic insulation in the stud walls and a quiet fan make a real difference when one of you showers early while the other is still asleep.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control covers the new drainage and ventilation for an en-suite, with ventilation set out in Technical Booklet K. There is no Part P, but the wiring should still be designed, tested and certified to BS 7671.

En-suites in Belfast: questions

What is the price of an en-suite in Belfast?

An en-suite in Belfast usually costs £4,000–£7,900 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Do you cover BT1 in Belfast?

Yes. We cover all of Belfast, including BT1, BT2, BT3, BT4 and 10 more postcode districts, and nearby Newtownabbey, Lisburn and Newtownards. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Belfast?

Does an en-suite in Belfast need building control approval?

Building control in Belfast is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

How much space do you need for an en-suite?

As a rough guide, about 2.5 m² is the practical minimum for a shower, basin and WC, for example a space of around 1.2 m by 2.1 m. The exact layout depends on where the door, window and soil stack are, so we test it against your measurements rather than a rule of thumb.
