Working in Newry

We work right across Newry — BT35 — and in neighbouring Banbridge and Portadown.

In Newry, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords in Newry can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. If your Newry water is hard, a tap with a removable aerator and a smooth one-piece basin top are easier to keep clean.

Water across much of County Down is 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

Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
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

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.

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.

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.

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

A new vanity unit in Newry usually costs £300–£1,300 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Is the water hard in Newry?

Does a new vanity unit in Newry need building control approval?

Building control in Newry 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 Newry.

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.
