Working in St Neots

We work right across St Neots — PE19 — and in neighbouring Huntingdon and Biggleswade.

Homes in and around St Neots vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your St Neots home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If someone in your St Neots 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 Cambridgeshire are very hard. If your supply in St Neots 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

Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room

Decisions to make first

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.

Seat

A wall-mounted fold-down seat saves space and stays put. A freestanding shower stool is portable but takes floor space and can shift.

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in St Neots: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in St Neots?

An accessible bathroom in St Neots usually costs £6,400–£14,750 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in St Neots really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover PE19 in St Neots?

Yes. We cover all of St Neots, including PE19, and nearby Huntingdon, Biggleswade and Bedford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in St Neots?

Can you fit a level-access shower upstairs?

Yes. On a timber floor, the joists are checked and a shower former is set down into the floor so the finished surface is level with the rest of the room. Where the joists run the wrong way or cannot be cut, a very low-profile tray with a gentle ramp is the alternative.
