Working in Newtownabbey

As well as Newtownabbey itself (BT15, BT36, BT37 and 1 more postcode districts), we survey in Belfast, Carrickfergus and Castlereagh.

In Newtownabbey, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Newtownabbey bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good. We survey in Newtownabbey before quoting, so the furniture run is planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

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

Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go

Decisions to make first

Bath, shower or both

Keep a bath for children or soaking, swap it for a walk-in shower if no one uses it, or plan both if the room is big enough.

Furniture finish

Matt or gloss lacquer, wood-effect, painted shaker or handleless. Darker finishes hide marks; lighter ones make a small room feel bigger.

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.
