Working in Coleraine

We work right across Coleraine — BT51, BT52 and BT55 — and in neighbouring Limavady and Magherafelt.

Homes in and around Coleraine vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Coleraine loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have. If your Coleraine house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump.

Most of County Londonderry is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Coleraine, 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 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
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 survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position

Decisions to make first

Roof window

A roof window over the bath or shower brings daylight and fresh air, but plan the blind for privacy and expect condensation on cold glass.

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 Coleraine: questions

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

A loft bathroom in Coleraine usually costs £5,700–£11,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

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 Coleraine.

Is the home survey in Coleraine 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.

Do you cover BT51 in Coleraine?

Yes. We cover all of Coleraine, including BT51, BT52 and BT55, and nearby Limavady, Magherafelt and Derry. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

How much headroom do you need for a loft shower?

Plan for around 2 m of clear height over the whole shower area, and enough standing height in front of the basin and WC. A bath can sit lower under the slope as long as you can stand up where you get in and out. We mark the usable height at each position on the survey drawing.
