Working in Portadown

As well as Portadown itself (BT62), we survey in Craigavon, Banbridge and Armagh.

In Portadown, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Portadown home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue. For an en-suite in Portadown, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack.

Most of County Armagh is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Portadown, 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
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve

Decisions to make first

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.

Shower size

A 900 mm square tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. In a long, narrow room, a 1200 by 800 mm walk-in tray with one glass panel feels far more generous.

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 Portadown: questions

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

An en-suite in Portadown usually costs £4,000–£7,900 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

How long does an en-suite take?

Allow 4–8 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Portadown.

Is the home survey in Portadown 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 BT62 in Portadown?

Yes. We cover all of Portadown, including BT62, and nearby Craigavon, Banbridge and Armagh. 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.
