Working in Newton Aycliffe
We cover every part of Newton Aycliffe, including DL4 and DL5, and nearby Bishop Auckland (4.9 miles) and Spennymoor (5.7 miles).
Homes in and around Newton Aycliffe 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 Newton Aycliffe home to go with the application. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Newton Aycliffe home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.
Supplies across most of County Durham are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Newton Aycliffe. 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 fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
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.
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 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.
