Working in High Wycombe
We work right across High Wycombe — HP11, HP12 and HP13 — and in neighbouring Marlow and Amersham.
Across a large town like High Wycombe, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If someone in your High Wycombe 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. For High Wycombe homes where the only toilet is in the bathroom, we plan the work so it stays usable for as much of the job as possible.
Supplies across most of Buckinghamshire are hard. If your supply in High Wycombe 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 home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
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.
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 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.
