Working in Thornaby-on-Tees
We work right across Thornaby-on-Tees — TS16, TS17 and TS18 — and in neighbouring Stockton-on-Tees and Yarm.
Thornaby-on-Tees gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Thornaby-on-Tees 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 Thornaby-on-Tees 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 Thornaby-on-Tees. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
Decisions to make first
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
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.
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.
