Working in Portadown

We work right across Portadown — BT62 — and in neighbouring Craigavon and Banbridge.

In Portadown, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Portadown home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Portadown loft shower is weak or the waste drains slowly, the fix is often in the pump or the pipe fall rather than the shower itself.

Supplies across most of County Armagh are soft. If that holds for your street in Portadown, 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
A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
A check of the floor joists where a bath or large shower tray will sit
A check of your hot-water system and of the pressure and flow you actually get at loft level

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Portadown really free?

Do you cover BT62 in Portadown?

Yes. We cover all of Portadown, including BT62, and nearby Craigavon, Banbridge and Armagh. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

How much headroom do you need for a loft shower?
