Working in Magherafelt

In Magherafelt we cover BT45 and BT46; we also cover Cookstown, 9.4 miles away, and Ballymena.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Magherafelt: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Magherafelt house has a combi boiler, a loft shower can usually run on mains pressure without a pump. If your Magherafelt home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.

Most of County Londonderry is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Magherafelt, 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

Fitted furniture made to the eaves, so the low space behind the slope becomes storage
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

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.

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 Magherafelt: questions

Do you cover BT45 and BT46 in Magherafelt?

Yes. We cover all of Magherafelt, including BT45 and BT46, and nearby Cookstown, Ballymena and Antrim. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Magherafelt?

Is a bath too heavy for a loft floor?

A standard acrylic bath is usually fine on a loft floor built for a conversion, but a filled bath with someone in it is heavy, and stone-resin or cast-iron baths are much heavier still. We check the joist size, span and direction at the survey, and a heavy bath may need a structural check and strengthening first.
