Working in Armagh

We work right across Armagh — BT61 — and in neighbouring Portadown and Dungannon.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Armagh: free survey, written quote, one team. For Armagh homes built before 2000, we ask about textured ceilings and old floor tiles before quoting a strip-out. Strip-outs in Armagh include the waste going away with a licensed carrier, so nothing is left on the drive or the pavement.

Water across much of County Armagh is soft. 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
A note of what was found: floor and wall condition, pipe runs and any damaged timber
The soil pipe sealed against smells once the WC is off
Removal of the bath or shower tray, enclosure, basin, WC, furniture and accessories

Decisions to make first

Keep or lose the plaster

Tiles often come off leaving plaster that can be tiled again. If the plaster comes away with them, the wall is boarded or re-plastered.

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 water hard in Armagh?

Does a bathroom strip-out in Armagh need building control approval?

Building control in Armagh is run by the local district council. Where approval is needed, for example for new drainage, we tell you at the survey and handle it as part of the job.

How long does a bathroom strip-out take?

Allow 1–2 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Armagh.

How do you get a cast-iron bath out?

A cast-iron bath can weigh well over 100 kg, so it is usually broken up in place with the room protected, unless you want to keep it. Taking one out whole needs several people, a clear route and care on the stairs. Tell us at the survey if you want it saved.
