Working in Peterborough
In Peterborough we cover PE1, PE2, PE3 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Stamford, 11.2 miles away, and March.
Peterborough is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If your Peterborough bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If someone in your Peterborough 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.
Most of Cambridgeshire has very hard water. If your supply in Peterborough 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
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
Decisions to make first
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
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.
