Which towns do we cover in County Londonderry?
Most of County Londonderry 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. For a period house in Derry with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room.
What the job includes
- Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
- Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
- Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking
- A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
- A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
- Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
Decisions to make first
Wall and floor finish
Large-format porcelain gives a stone look with little upkeep. Natural stone and microcement are beautiful but need sealing and care, especially in hard-water areas.
Brassware finish
Chrome is the easiest to keep clean. Brushed brass, nickel and matt black look striking but show limescale marks unless they are wiped down.
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.
Heating
Underfloor heating under stone or porcelain makes the room comfortable all year; pair it with a towel rail for drying.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
Internal bathroom work does not need planning permission, but a listed building needs listed building consent for alterations affecting its character, including new soil or vent pipes through walls. Heavy baths and stone floors add load to the floor structure, which should be checked first. Electrics must meet BS 7671, including the IP ratings in each zone and 30 mA RCD protection on every circuit.
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.
