Working in Antrim
We work right across Antrim — BT29 and BT41 — and in neighbouring Ballymena and Newtownabbey.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Antrim: free survey, written quote, one team. Wall-hung vanities in Antrim homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If your Antrim water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.
Supplies across most of County Antrim are soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
- Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
- Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
- Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
Decisions to make first
Width
Compact units around 400 mm wide suit cloakrooms; family bathrooms often take 600 to 800 mm for one basin and 1200 mm or more for two.
Drawers or doors
Drawers keep things visible and reachable but lose some space to the trap. Doors give a deeper cupboard and cost less.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009 cover the tap and supplies. A basin swap does not need building control approval.
