Working in Ballymena
We work right across Ballymena — BT42, BT43 and BT44 — and in neighbouring Antrim and Magherafelt.
In Ballymena, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Ballymena home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts. We plan luxury bathrooms in Ballymena with drawings and a full product schedule, and the price is fixed in writing once the design is agreed.
Most of County Antrim is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
- Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
- Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
Decisions to make first
Heating
Underfloor heating under stone or porcelain makes the room comfortable all year; pair it with a towel rail for drying.
Freestanding bath material
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch. Stone resin holds heat and feels solid but is much heavier. Cast iron is the heaviest of all and nearly always needs a structural check.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, building control covers structural work, drainage and ventilation. There is no Part P, but the heating, lighting and shower circuits should be designed, tested and certified to BS 7671.
