Working in Armagh

As well as Armagh itself (BT61), we survey in Portadown, Dungannon and Craigavon.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Armagh: free survey, written quote, one team. We quote wet rooms in Armagh only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies. If your Armagh bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

Most of County Armagh is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Armagh, 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 shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it

Decisions to make first

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

Screen size

A screen of 1200 mm or more keeps spray off the rest of the room in most layouts. In a very small wet room, expect the whole floor to get wet.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, building control covers new drainage, ventilation and structural changes to the floor. There is no Part P, but the electrics should be tested and certified to BS 7671.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Armagh: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Armagh?

A wet room in Armagh usually costs £5,300–£10,500 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 Armagh?

Does a wet room 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 wet room take?

Allow 5–10 working days 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.

Can I have a wet room in a flat?

Often, but check your lease first. Freeholder consent is commonly needed, especially where the drainage or the floor changes, and the risk of a leak into the flat below means the tanking and drain connection must be done with care. Sound insulation in the floor matters too.
