Working in Macclesfield
In Macclesfield we cover SK9, SK10 and SK11; we also cover Wilmslow, 6.4 miles away, and Bramhall.
Homes in and around Macclesfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Macclesfield bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Macclesfield home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.
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 Macclesfield. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
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.
