Working in Wilmslow

As well as Wilmslow itself (M90, SK8 and SK9), we survey in Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme and Hazel Grove.

Homes in and around Wilmslow vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Wilmslow home to go with the application. If your Wilmslow bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.

Supplies across most of Cheshire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Wilmslow. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
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

Colour contrast

Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.

Walk-in bath

A door or low-entry bath suits people who want to keep bathing, but you have to sit inside while it fills and drains.

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.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
