Working in Lower Earley
We work right across Lower Earley — RG2, RG5 and RG6 — and in neighbouring Reading and Wokingham.
Homes in and around Lower Earley vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Lower Earley home to go with the application. If someone in your Lower Earley home is finding the bath hard to get in and out of, a level-access shower in the same space is usually the first option we look at.
Supplies across most of Berkshire are hard. If your supply in Lower Earley 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
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
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.
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.
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.
