Working in Dungannon

We cover every part of Dungannon, including BT68, BT69, BT70 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Cookstown (9.7 miles) and Armagh (11.3 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Dungannon: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Dungannon bath has no shower over it, a thermostatic bar shower, screen and tiling can usually be added in a day or two. If you want a shower in your Dungannon home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit.

Supplies across most of County Tyrone are soft. If that holds for your street in Dungannon, 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 check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
Removal of the old shower, a full-flow test and a handover on isolating and descaling it
New pipework and isolation valves, plus a pump only where the system is gravity-fed from a cold tank
Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area

Decisions to make first

Exposed or concealed

An exposed bar valve fixes onto the tiles and is easy to service. A concealed valve sits in the wall for a cleaner look but needs careful setting-out and a plan for access.

Digital shower

A wall panel sets the exact temperature and flow, while the mixing valve sits out of sight. It needs a power supply and suits a clean, concealed look.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland there is no Part P; electric shower circuits should be installed and certified to BS 7671. The Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 cover pumps and backflow protection.

More about shower installation

Shower installation in Dungannon: questions

How much should I budget for a new shower in Dungannon?

A new shower in Dungannon usually costs £400–£3,100 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the water hard in Dungannon?

Does a new shower in Dungannon need building control approval?

Building control in Dungannon is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

How long does a new shower take?

Allow half a day to 3 days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Dungannon.

Can I fit a shower pump with a combi boiler?

No. A combi boiler takes its water from the mains, and connecting a pump directly to the mains supply is not allowed under the water fittings regulations. Shower pumps are only for gravity systems with a cold tank. If a combi shower is weak, the cause is usually the incoming flow, the boiler output or the head, not something a pump can fix.
