Working in Biggleswade
As well as Biggleswade itself (SG18), we survey in Letchworth Garden City, St Neots and Bedford.
Biggleswade gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are planning ahead in Biggleswade rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Biggleswade home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.
Water across much of Bedfordshire is very hard. If your supply in Biggleswade is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- 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
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
Decisions to make first
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray with a very shallow lip suits someone who can step a little. A tiled level floor falling to a drain is needed for a wheelchair or wheeled shower chair.
Walk-in bath
A door or low-entry bath suits people who want to keep bathing, but you have to sit inside while it fills and drains.
Rules that apply in England
In England, a Disabled Facilities Grant from your local council can pay up to £30,000 towards adaptations such as a level-access shower. Fitting a new electric shower, or any other new circuit or wiring change in the bathroom, is notifiable under Part P.
