Working in Strabane

In Strabane we cover BT81 and BT82; we also cover Omagh, 16.9 miles away, and Cookstown.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Strabane: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Strabane bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. For a wet room in a Strabane flat, the first step is the lease, because freeholder consent is often needed before any work starts.

Water across much of County Tyrone is soft. If that holds for your street in Strabane, 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
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Strabane 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 BT81 and BT82 in Strabane?

Yes. We cover all of Strabane, including BT81 and BT82, and nearby Omagh, Cookstown and Dungannon. 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.
