Working in Armagh

We work right across Armagh — BT61 — and in neighbouring Portadown and Dungannon.

Armagh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Armagh house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. If your Armagh loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have.

Supplies across most of County Armagh are soft. If that holds for your street in Armagh, 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 of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position
Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system

Decisions to make first

Where the shower goes

Under the ridge or in a dormer, where the full height is. A walk-in shower with a single panel is usually easier to fit to a roof line than a framed enclosure.

Bath or no bath

A bath under the slope makes good use of low space, but the floor has to carry it when it is full of water and someone is in it.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control covers the new drainage, any structural work to the floor and the ventilation, which is set out in Technical Booklet K. Wiring should be designed, tested and certified to BS 7671.

Loft bathrooms in Armagh: questions

How much should I budget for a loft bathroom in Armagh?

A loft bathroom in Armagh usually costs £5,700–£11,500 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the water hard in Armagh?

Does a loft bathroom in Armagh need building control approval?

Building control in Armagh 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 loft bathroom take?

Allow 6–12 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 Armagh.

Can you put a toilet in a loft?

Yes, if the waste can fall to the soil stack or a macerator can be used. Gravity drainage is the first choice; a macerator is only allowed where the home already has a WC on gravity drainage, which in most houses means the main bathroom.
