Working in Great Sankey
We work right across Great Sankey — WA5 — and in neighbouring Warrington and Newton-le-Willows.
Homes in and around Great Sankey 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 Great Sankey home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If someone in your Great Sankey 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.
Water across much of Cheshire is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Great Sankey. 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 comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
- 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
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.
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.
