Working in Gerrards Cross
As well as Gerrards Cross itself (SL9 and UB9), we survey in Chalfont St Peter, Uxbridge and Rickmansworth.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Gerrards Cross: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Gerrards Cross home to go with the application. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Gerrards Cross home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.
Supplies across most of Buckinghamshire are hard. If your supply in Gerrards Cross 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 thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
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.
