Working in Larne

We cover every part of Larne, including BT40, and nearby Carrickfergus (9.3 miles) and Newtownabbey (13.6 miles).

Larne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If nobody in your Larne home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. We plan shower rooms in Larne around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

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

Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control covers changes to drainage, structure and ventilation. Water fittings must meet the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009, and wiring should follow BS 7671.

Shower rooms in Larne: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Larne?

Is the water hard in Larne?

Does a shower room in Larne need building control approval?

Building control in Larne 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 shower room take?

Allow 4–8 working 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 Larne.

Will a shower room put buyers off?

A shower room is rarely a problem as an en-suite or second bathroom. If it would be the only bathroom in a family-sized house, some buyers will want a bath, so think about how long you plan to stay. A local estate agent can tell you what buyers in your street expect.
