Working in Magherafelt

In Magherafelt we cover BT45 and BT46; we also cover Cookstown, 9.4 miles away, and Ballymena.

Magherafelt gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are planning a wet room in Magherafelt for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway. For a wet room in a Magherafelt flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts.

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 frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
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.

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 Magherafelt: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Magherafelt?

A wet room in Magherafelt usually costs £5,300–£10,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Is the home survey in Magherafelt 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 BT45 and BT46 in Magherafelt?

Yes. We cover all of Magherafelt, including BT45 and BT46, and nearby Cookstown, Ballymena and Antrim. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Magherafelt?

Is a wet room better than a walk-in shower?

A wet room gives a completely level floor and a seamless finish, but costs more because the whole floor is tanked. A walk-in shower uses a low-profile tray and a glass panel, is quicker to fit and costs less. If you need level access, a wet room is the right choice; if you just want an open shower, a walk-in is usually enough. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers goes further.
