Working in Limavady

In Limavady we cover BT49; we also cover Coleraine, 12.6 miles away, and Derry.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Limavady: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are converting a bathroom in Limavady into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. If your second bathroom in Limavady is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Most of County Londonderry is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Limavady, 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 thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover

Decisions to make first

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.

Tray or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

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.
