Working in Newtownards

In Newtownards we cover BT23; we also cover Bangor, 4.8 miles away, and Castlereagh.

Homes in and around Newtownards vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If nobody in your Newtownards home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. We plan shower rooms in Newtownards around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Water across much of County Down is soft. If that holds for your street in Newtownards, 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
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass

Decisions to make first

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.

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

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.

Do you cover BT23 in Newtownards?

What size shower tray do I need?

A 900 by 900 mm tray is a comfortable minimum for an enclosure. For a walk-in with one glass panel and no door, 1200 by 800 mm is a practical starting point, and 1400 mm or longer keeps the spray in better. The room shape, door swing and waste position decide the final size.
