Working in Carrickfergus
We work right across Carrickfergus — BT38 — and in neighbouring Newtownabbey and Bangor.
In Carrickfergus, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Carrickfergus shower enclosure has a leaking door seal or a cracked tray, a walk-in panel removes the door altogether. If you are planning ahead in Carrickfergus for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.
Water across much of County Antrim is soft. If that holds for your street in Carrickfergus, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Decisions to make first
Tray or tiled floor
A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.
Head
A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.
Rules that apply in Northern Ireland
In Northern Ireland, building control is only involved where drainage, structure or ventilation change. New fittings must meet the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2009.
