Working in Magherafelt

As well as Magherafelt itself (BT45 and BT46), we survey in Cookstown, Ballymena and Antrim.

Magherafelt gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. In a long, narrow Magherafelt en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure. For a walk-in shower in Magherafelt, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.

Supplies across most of County Londonderry are soft. If that holds for your street in Magherafelt, 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

A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled

Decisions to make first

Valve

An exposed bar valve with a riser rail is easy to fit and service. A concealed valve hides the pipework and suits a fixed overhead head.

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Magherafelt?

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?

A walk-in shower uses a tray, or a tanked shower area, with a glass panel, so only the shower area is waterproofed. In a wet room the whole floor is tanked and falls to a drain. A walk-in shower costs less and is quicker to fit; a wet room gives a fully level floor from wall to wall.
