Working in Peterhead

We work right across Peterhead — AB42 — and in neighbouring Fraserburgh and Inverurie.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Peterhead: free survey, written quote, one team. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Peterhead home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If your Peterhead bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.

Supplies across most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are soft. If that holds for your street in Peterhead, 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 home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room

Decisions to make first

Screen or curtain

A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.

Colour contrast

Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.

Rules that apply in Scotland

Scotland does not have Disabled Facilities Grants. Councils run a Scheme of Assistance instead, which can help with adaptations, so contact your council before planning the work. A building warrant may be needed if the drainage is altered for a level-access floor.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
