Working in Stockton-on-Tees
We work right across Stockton-on-Tees — TS18, TS19 and TS20 — and in neighbouring Billingham and Thornaby-on-Tees.
Stockton-on-Tees has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Stockton-on-Tees home to go with the application. If your Stockton-on-Tees bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.
Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Stockton-on-Tees. 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 fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
