Working in Magherafelt

We work right across Magherafelt — BT45 and BT46 — and in neighbouring Cookstown and Ballymena.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Magherafelt: free survey, written quote, one team. If your second bathroom in Magherafelt is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall. If nobody in your Magherafelt home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Water across much of County Londonderry is soft. If that holds for your street in Magherafelt, 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

Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
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.

Storage

With no bath, there is often space for a full-width vanity unit or a tall cupboard for towels.

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 Magherafelt: questions

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

A shower room in Magherafelt usually costs £4,000–£7,900 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the home survey in Magherafelt really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BT45 and BT46 in Magherafelt?

Yes. We cover all of Magherafelt, including BT45 and BT46, and nearby Cookstown, Ballymena and Antrim. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Magherafelt?

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
