Working in Newtownards

We work right across Newtownards — BT23 — and in neighbouring Bangor and Castlereagh.

Homes in and around Newtownards vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the en-suite in your Newtownards 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 Newtownards 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 Down is soft. If that holds for your street in Newtownards, 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

A door that suits a tight space: inward, outward, sliding or a pocket door
A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat

Decisions to make first

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.

Exposed or concealed valve

An exposed bar valve is quicker to fit and easy to service. A concealed valve looks cleaner but sits inside the wall, so plan how it will be reached for repairs.

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 Newtownards: questions

How much does an en-suite cost in Newtownards?

An en-suite in Newtownards 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.

Is the home survey in Newtownards 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 BT23 in Newtownards?

Yes. We cover all of Newtownards, including BT23, and nearby Bangor, Castlereagh and Belfast. 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.
