Working in Lisburn

We cover every part of Lisburn, including BT17, BT26, BT27 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Belfast (6.7 miles) and Castlereagh (7 miles).

In a city the size of Lisburn, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you are fitting your own bathroom in Lisburn, a separate strip-out gets the heavy work and the waste dealt with first. Landlords in Lisburn can book a strip-out to see the real condition of a damaged bathroom before choosing between a refit and a renovation.

Most of County Antrim is supplied with soft water. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Lights, fan, shaver socket and heated rail disconnected and made safe by a qualified electrician where needed
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories

Decisions to make first

Asbestos testing

In a home built before 2000, a sample test before work starts settles whether a ceiling coating, floor tile or boxing panel needs specialist removal.

Salvage

If you want to keep a cast-iron bath, a radiator or a piece of furniture, say so before we start, so it comes out whole rather than in pieces.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, stripping out is not controlled work, but alterations that follow to drainage, structure or ventilation go through building control. The same asbestos and waste precautions apply.

Is the home survey in Lisburn 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 BT17 in Lisburn?

Is there asbestos in my bathroom?

If your home was built before 2000, there may be. The likely places are textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids and boxing panels. You cannot tell by looking, so a sample test before strip-out is the safe way to find out. If asbestos is found, a specialist deals with it before the rest of the work goes ahead.
