Working in Helensburgh
In Helensburgh we cover G84; we also cover Greenock, 4.2 miles away, and Vale of Leven.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Helensburgh: free survey, written quote, one team. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Helensburgh home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Helensburgh home to go with the application.
Most of Argyll and Bute is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Helensburgh, 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 thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
Decisions to make first
Rail positions
Rails go where you need support: beside the WC, at the shower entry and near the seat. We set heights with the user at the survey so they suit their reach.
Seat
A wall-mounted fold-down seat saves space and stays put. A freestanding shower stool is portable but takes floor space and can shift.
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.
