Covering Newry
Newry sits 27 miles west of Downpatrick, with Banbridge 12 miles to the north and Keady 15 miles to the west.
Homes in County Down
Across Northern Ireland you find city terraces, suburban semis and rural bungalows and farmhouses, so the right approach depends on the plot and the planning history.
What does bathroom installation involve?
Most bathroom problems come from poor waterproofing and ventilation, so we tank wet areas, fit extraction that actually clears steam, and check water pressure before choosing showers. All electrics in bathrooms are done to the special-location rules.
- Planning and building control applications to the council
- Tiling, sanitaryware and brassware
- Extractor fan, lighting and heated towel rail
How much should I budget for bathroom installation?
Guide prices for bathrooms and en-suites, including VAT where it applies. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing after the survey.
| Bathrooms and en-suites | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| En-suite or shower room | £5,500 to £10,000 |
| Family bathroom refit | £7,000 to £12,000 |
| Premium bathroom or wet room | £12,000 to £20,000 |
What approvals does bathroom installation need in Northern Ireland?
In Northern Ireland the council handles both planning and building control. Permitted development rules are set by the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015, and there is no party wall act, so we agree access and protection with neighbours in writing.
Bathroom refits do not need planning permission; electrics and ventilation must meet building regulations.
What can affect bathroom installation?
- Low water pressure limits the choice of shower; a pump or unvented cylinder may be needed.
- Moving a toilet depends on the soil pipe route.
How does the project run?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
What people ask before starting
Can you add an en-suite to a bedroom?
Yes, if a waste route to the soil stack is possible. A macerator is an option where it is not.
Do I need building regulations approval?
New bathrooms need extraction to meet the regulations, and electrical work may be notifiable.
Do you work in Newry?
Yes. Newry is within our coverage for bathrooms and en-suites, along with nearby Banbridge and Keady.
