Working in Limavady

As well as Limavady itself (BT49), we survey in Coleraine, Derry and Magherafelt.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Limavady: free survey, written quote, one team. Whether your Limavady bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If you have young children at home in Limavady, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

Water across much of County Londonderry 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

Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling

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.

Floor

Matt or textured porcelain is the hardest-wearing option. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is warmer, quieter and cheaper to lay. Avoid polished tiles where children climb out of the bath.

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.

More about family bathrooms

Family bathrooms in Limavady: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Limavady?

A family bathroom in Limavady 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.

Is the water hard in Limavady?

Does a family bathroom in Limavady need building control approval?

Building control in Limavady 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 long does a family bathroom take?

Allow 6–10 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 Limavady.

What is the most hard-wearing floor for a family bathroom?

Porcelain tiles are the most hard-wearing floor for a family bathroom: they do not absorb water and are hard to scratch. Choose a matt or textured finish so wet feet do not slip. Luxury vinyl tile is warmer underfoot and costs less, but it can be dented and needs a perfectly flat subfloor.
