What does an en-suite cost in Coleraine?

For Coleraine, our guide range for an en-suite is £4,000 to £7,900 including VAT. Prices in Northern Ireland run at about 12% below the national guide, mainly because of labour rates. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.

Working in Coleraine

As well as Coleraine itself (BT51, BT52 and BT55), we survey in Limavady, Magherafelt and Derry.

Homes in and around Coleraine vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Coleraine en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit. If your Coleraine home has one bathroom and a good-sized main bedroom, an en-suite is often the change that eases the morning queue.

Water across much of County Londonderry is soft. If that holds for your street in Coleraine, 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
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear

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 Coleraine: questions

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

An en-suite in Coleraine 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?

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 Coleraine.

Is the home survey in Coleraine 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 BT51 in Coleraine?

Yes. We cover all of Coleraine, including BT51, BT52 and BT55, and nearby Limavady, Magherafelt and Derry. 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.
