Working in Cookstown

In Cookstown we cover BT80; we also cover Magherafelt, 9.4 miles away, and Dungannon.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Cookstown: free survey, written quote, one team. We plan loft bathrooms in Cookstown around the roof line, so the shower sits where you can stand and the eaves become storage. If your Cookstown loft conversion has a bedroom but no bathroom, the survey starts with where the soil stack runs and how much headroom you have.

Water across much of County Tyrone is soft. If that holds for your street in Cookstown, 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
An extractor fan ducted through the roof or a gable wall, with the duct insulated through cold spaces
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

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.

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 Cookstown: questions

How much does a loft bathroom cost in Cookstown?

A loft bathroom in Cookstown 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 home survey in Cookstown really free?

Do you cover BT80 in Cookstown?

Yes. We cover all of Cookstown, including BT80, and nearby Magherafelt, Dungannon and Portadown. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Cookstown?

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.
