Working in Magherafelt

We work right across Magherafelt — BT45 and BT46 — and in neighbouring Cookstown and Ballymena.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Magherafelt: free survey, written quote, one team. Landlords in Magherafelt can have a worn basin replaced with a vanity unit in half a day to a day. We quote vanity unit work in Magherafelt after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start.

Water across much of County Londonderry 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

Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall
Isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies, so the tap can be changed later without draining the system
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls

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.

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.
