Working in Castlereagh
We work right across Castlereagh — BT5, BT6 and BT7 — and in neighbouring Belfast and Newtownabbey.
In Castlereagh, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Castlereagh bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If someone in your Castlereagh 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 Castlereagh, 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 fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
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.
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 Northern Ireland
