Working in Magherafelt

In Magherafelt we cover BT45 and BT46; we also cover Cookstown, 9.4 miles away, and Ballymena.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Magherafelt: free survey, written quote, one team. For an en-suite in Magherafelt, the first question at the survey is always where the waste can reach the soil stack. If your Magherafelt 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 Magherafelt, 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 survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
A pumped waste or macerator where gravity drainage is not possible, and only where the house already has a WC on gravity drainage
An extractor fan ducted to outside, sized to the room and wired with an overrun timer or humidistat
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.

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.

Is the water hard in Magherafelt?

What extractor fan does an en-suite need?

In England, a new en-suite needs extract ventilation of at least 15 litres per second if the fan runs intermittently, or 8 litres per second if it runs continuously. Duct it to outside, keep the duct run short, and choose a quiet fan with an overrun timer, because it sits next to a bedroom.
