Working in Lisburn

In Lisburn we cover BT17, BT26, BT27 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Belfast, 6.7 miles away, and Castlereagh.

Lisburn is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If the en-suite in your Lisburn home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. If you live in a Lisburn 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 Lisburn, 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

Stud walls with acoustic insulation and moisture-resistant board for a new en-suite
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
IP-rated lighting, a shaver socket and the electrics done by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

Refit or new en-suite

A refit keeps the existing drainage and walls. A new en-suite costs more because the walls, waste route, fan duct and electrics all start from nothing.

Night lighting

A mirror light or low-level LED strip on its own switch lets you use the en-suite at night without the full glare of the ceiling lights.

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.

More about en-suites

En-suites in Lisburn: questions

How much should I budget for an en-suite in Lisburn?

An en-suite in Lisburn usually costs £4,000–£7,900 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

How long does an en-suite take?

Is the home survey in Lisburn really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BT17 in Lisburn?

Yes. We cover all of Lisburn, including BT17, BT26, BT27 and BT28, and nearby Belfast, Castlereagh and Newtownabbey. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you put an en-suite anywhere?

Almost anywhere the waste can reach the soil stack. Gravity drainage needs a steady fall in the pipe, so the further the en-suite is from the stack, the more depth you need under the floor or behind boxing. Where that is not possible, a pumped waste or macerator can be used if the home already has a WC on gravity drainage. Our guide to adding an en-suite covers this in more detail.
