Working in Omagh

As well as Omagh itself (BT78 and BT79), we survey in Strabane, Enniskillen and Cookstown.

Omagh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the shower in your Omagh home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. For Omagh homes with a cold tank in the loft, we check the system before fitting anything, because a pump is only allowed on a gravity supply.

Supplies across most of County Tyrone are soft. If that holds for your street in Omagh, 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

Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
A check of your hot-water system, water pressure and flow rate
A bath screen, tray or enclosure where the shower is new

Decisions to make first

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.

Power shower

A mixer with a built-in pump, for tank-fed systems only. It lifts a weak gravity shower but must never be connected to the mains.

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 Omagh: questions

What is the price of a new shower in Omagh?

A new shower in Omagh 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.

Do you cover BT78 and BT79 in Omagh?

Yes. We cover all of Omagh, including BT78 and BT79, and nearby Strabane, Enniskillen and Cookstown. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Omagh?

Does a new shower in Omagh need building control approval?

Building control in Omagh 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.

Which type of shower do I need?

The type depends on your hot-water system. With a combi boiler or unvented cylinder, a thermostatic mixer on mains pressure is usually right. With a cold tank and hot cylinder, a mixer runs by gravity, or a power shower or pump can boost it. If hot water is limited, an electric shower heats cold mains water as you use it.
