Working in Derry

In Derry we cover BT47 and BT48; we also cover Limavady, 14.7 miles away, and Coleraine.

Derry 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 Derry home was squeezed in by a previous owner, a refit is a chance to fix the door swing and the tray size. If your Derry en-suite fan just blows into the loft, we can duct it properly to outside as part of the refit.

Most of County Londonderry is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Derry, 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
A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
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 Derry: questions

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

An en-suite in Derry usually costs £4,000–£7,900 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover BT47 and BT48 in Derry?

Yes. We cover all of Derry, including BT47 and BT48, and nearby Limavady, Coleraine and Magherafelt. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Derry?

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

Building control in Derry 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.
