Working in Newry

As well as Newry itself (BT35), we survey in Banbridge, Portadown and Armagh.

In Newry, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. In a compact Newry bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet. If your Newry bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor.

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

Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack

Decisions to make first

Open or screened

A fully open shower with no glass only works in a larger room, with the basin, WC and towels well away from the spray.

Former or screed

A pre-formed board gives a consistent fall and suits timber floors. A sand and cement screed suits concrete slabs and larger shower areas.

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 Newry: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Newry?

A wet room in Newry usually costs £5,300–£10,500 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the water hard in Newry?

Does a wet room 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 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 Newry.

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.
