Working in Newtownards

We cover every part of Newtownards, including BT23, and nearby Bangor (4.8 miles) and Castlereagh (7.9 miles).

In Newtownards, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Newtownards bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. If you are planning a wet room in Newtownards for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Water across much of County Down is soft. If that holds for your street in Newtownards, 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

Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

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.

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

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 Newtownards: questions

How much should I budget for a wet room in Newtownards?

A wet room in Newtownards 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 home survey in Newtownards really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover BT23 in Newtownards?

Yes. We cover all of Newtownards, including BT23, and nearby Bangor, Castlereagh and Belfast. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
