Working in Carrickfergus

We cover every part of Carrickfergus, including BT38, and nearby Newtownabbey (5.6 miles) and Bangor (6.7 miles).

Homes in and around Carrickfergus vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you want to lose the bath and gain storage in your Carrickfergus bathroom, we show you both options before you decide. For homes in Carrickfergus where the bathroom is the only one, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as short a time as possible.

Supplies across most of County Antrim are 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

Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves

Decisions to make first

Heating

A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control covers new drainage, ventilation and structural changes. There is no Part P, but electrical work should be designed, tested and certified to BS 7671.

A fitted bathroom in Carrickfergus usually costs £5,700–£10,500 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.

Does a fitted bathroom in Carrickfergus need building control approval?

Building control in Carrickfergus 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 fitted bathroom take?

Is the home survey in Carrickfergus 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.

How do you get to the cistern behind fitted furniture?

Concealed cisterns are reached through the flush plate opening or a removable panel in the WC unit. We fit an isolation valve so the cistern can be serviced without draining the system.
