Working in Newtownards

We work right across Newtownards — BT23 — and in neighbouring Bangor and Castlereagh.

In Newtownards, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a small Newtownards bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice. If the door of your Newtownards bathroom opens inwards and catches the basin, re-hanging it or fitting a sliding door is often part of the plan.

Water across much of County Down is soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor

Decisions to make first

Storage

Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.

Tiles and grout

Larger tiles with a grout close to the tile colour make walls look calmer. Running the same floor tile into the shower makes the floor look continuous.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control is concerned with changes to drainage, structure and ventilation rather than a straight refit. There is no Part P, but the electrics should be tested and certified to BS 7671.

Small bathrooms in Newtownards: questions

Do you cover BT23 in Newtownards?

Yes. We cover all of Newtownards, including BT23, and nearby Bangor, Castlereagh and Belfast. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What makes a small bathroom look bigger?

Showing more floor and fewer edges makes a small bathroom look bigger. Wall-hung WCs and vanities, a single clear glass panel instead of a framed enclosure, larger tiles with matching grout, and the same floor tile running into the shower all help. A wide mirror on the basin wall bounces light around the room.
