Working in Redruth

As well as Redruth itself (TR15 and TR16), we survey in Camborne, Truro and Falmouth.

In Redruth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If someone in your Redruth 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. For Redruth homes where the only toilet is in the bathroom, we plan the work so it stays usable for as much of the job as possible.

Supplies across most of Cornwall are soft. If that holds for your street in Redruth, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space

Decisions to make first

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.

Rail positions

Rails go where you need support: beside the WC, at the shower entry and near the seat. We set heights with the user at the survey so they suit their reach.

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.

Accessible bathrooms in Redruth: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in Redruth?

An accessible bathroom in Redruth usually costs £6,100–£14,250 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover TR15 and TR16 in Redruth?

Is the water hard in Redruth?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Redruth?

Building control for Redruth is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do I pay VAT on a disabled bathroom?

Often not. Building work to adapt a home for a disabled person, such as converting a bath to a level-access shower, can be zero-rated under HMRC VAT Notice 701/7. It is not means-tested; the person, or someone on their behalf, signs an eligibility declaration. We go through which items qualify with you before quoting.
