Working in Carrickfergus
As well as Carrickfergus itself (BT38), we survey in Newtownabbey, Bangor and Larne.
In Carrickfergus, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Carrickfergus 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 Carrickfergus home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.
Supplies across most of County Antrim are soft. If that holds for your street in Carrickfergus, 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
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
