Which towns do we cover in County Tyrone?
Most of County Tyrone 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. If your Omagh home has a larger main bathroom, a freestanding bath with a separate walk-in shower is usually where the design starts.
What the job includes
- A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
- Large-format porcelain, natural stone or microcement over full tanking
- Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
- 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
- Layout drawings, wall elevations and a tile setting-out plan
Decisions to make first
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.
Shower system
A concealed thermostatic valve with a ceiling head and handset is the usual choice. A digital valve sets the temperature from a wall panel, and a steam enclosure needs its own generator and supply.
Lighting
Layer it: IP-rated ceiling lights for general use, a lit mirror at the basin and low-level LED in niches or plinths for night, each on its own switch or dimmer.
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.
