Working in Craigavon

In Craigavon we cover BT63, BT64, BT65 and 2 more postcode districts; we also cover Portadown, 2.8 miles away, and Banbridge.

Homes in and around Craigavon vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you have young children at home in Craigavon, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. If your Craigavon home has just one bathroom, we plan the fit so the toilet is working again at the end of each day wherever the job allows.

Water across much of County Armagh is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows

Decisions to make first

Bath shape

A standard 1700 mm bath fits most rooms. A shower bath widens at one end to give more standing room under the shower; a double-ended bath puts the waste in the middle so two children can share without one sitting on the plug.

Storage

A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control is involved where drainage, structure or ventilation change. The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 cover the new WC and taps, and wiring should be tested and certified to BS 7671.

Family bathrooms in Craigavon: questions

How much does a family bathroom cost in Craigavon?

A family bathroom in Craigavon usually costs £5,300–£9,700 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.

Do you cover BT63 in Craigavon?

Yes. We cover all of Craigavon, including BT63, BT64, BT65, BT66 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Portadown, Banbridge and Armagh. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Craigavon?

Does a family bathroom in Craigavon need building control approval?

Building control in Craigavon 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.

Should a family bathroom have a bath?

If you have young children, yes: bathing a toddler in a shower tray is hard work. In a single-bathroom house, a bath with a good thermostatic shower over it gives you both in one footprint. If the children are older and nobody baths, a walk-in shower may suit you better; our bath or shower guide sets out the trade-offs.
