Working in Antrim

In Antrim we cover BT29 and BT41; we also cover Ballymena, 10.4 miles away, and Newtownabbey.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Antrim: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Antrim bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If someone in your Antrim 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.

Most of County Antrim is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Antrim, 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

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
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing

Decisions to make first

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.

Low tray or level floor

A low-profile tray with a very shallow lip suits someone who can step a little. A tiled level floor falling to a drain is needed for a wheelchair or wheeled shower chair.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £25,000 are handled through the Housing Executive. Building control covers changes to drainage and ventilation, and wiring should follow BS 7671.

Do you cover BT29 and BT41 in Antrim?

Yes. We cover all of Antrim, including BT29 and BT41, and nearby Ballymena, Newtownabbey and Belfast. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
