Working in Craigavon

We work right across Craigavon — BT63, BT64, BT65 and 2 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Portadown 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 your Craigavon home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options. If your Craigavon house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump.

Most of County Armagh is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Craigavon, 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 check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level
Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
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

Getting the water pressure

A pumped shower suits a gravity system with a cold tank; an electric shower heats cold mains water at the point of use; a combi or unvented cylinder gives mains pressure throughout.

Eaves storage

Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.

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 Craigavon: questions

How much does a loft bathroom cost in Craigavon?

A loft bathroom in Craigavon usually costs £5,700–£11,500 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.

Is the water hard in Craigavon?

Does a loft 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.

Do I need a pump for a loft shower?

You need a pump if your hot water comes from a cylinder fed by a cold tank, because the tank usually sits at or below the height of a loft shower and gives almost no pressure. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure, so no pump is needed, though the flow can drop when other taps run. Shower pumps must only be used on gravity systems, never connected to the mains.
