Working in Armagh

In Armagh we cover BT61; we also cover Portadown, 10.3 miles away, and Dungannon.

Armagh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Wall-hung vanities in Armagh homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Armagh bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.

Most of County Armagh is supplied with soft water. 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

Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps

Decisions to make first

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.

Basin type

An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.

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.

More about vanity units

Vanity units in Armagh: questions

What is the price of a new vanity unit in Armagh?

A new vanity unit in Armagh usually costs £300–£1,300 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the water hard in Armagh?

Does a new vanity unit 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 new vanity unit take?

Allow half a day to 1 day 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.

Is a wall-hung or floor-standing vanity unit better?

Neither suits every room. Wall-hung units show more floor, make a small bathroom feel larger and are easy to clean under, but need a wall that can carry them. Floor-standing units hold more and suit uneven or weak walls.
