Working in Omagh

We work right across Omagh — BT78 and BT79 — and in neighbouring Strabane and Enniskillen.

Omagh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We quote wet rooms in Omagh only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies. If you are planning a wet room in Omagh for level access, we design the fall and drain so the floor is flush from the doorway.

Most of County Tyrone is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Omagh, 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
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Strip-out, waste removal, a final flow test to the drain and handover

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 Omagh: questions

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

A wet room in Omagh 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. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover BT78 and BT79 in Omagh?

Yes. We cover all of Omagh, including BT78 and BT79, and nearby Strabane, Enniskillen and Cookstown. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Omagh?

Does a wet room in Omagh need building control approval?

Building control in Omagh 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.

What is tanking in a wet room?

Tanking is the waterproof layer under the tiles that stops water reaching the floor and walls. It is usually a liquid or sheet membrane, with sealing tape at every corner, board joint and pipe. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the tanking is what actually keeps the water in.
