Which rules apply in Northern Ireland?
Building work in Northern Ireland is controlled by the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), administered by council building control.
What does it cost in Northern Ireland?
Our guide range for a level-access shower or wet room in Northern Ireland is £4,300–£5,850 per home. That is the UK range of £4,750–£6,500 (published figure) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 0.90 (our own estimate); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
How do we deliver it?
We plan each adaptation around the resident's routines and needs, and keep them informed about every stage, because an adaptation is only a success if it works for the person living with it.
