Working in Alfreton

As well as Alfreton itself (DE55), we survey in Ripley, Sutton in Ashfield and Kirkby in Ashfield.

Alfreton gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Alfreton bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Alfreton home to go with the application.

Most of Derbyshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Alfreton. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed

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.

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Alfreton: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in Alfreton?

An accessible bathroom in Alfreton usually costs £5,800–£13,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Alfreton really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover DE55 in Alfreton?

Yes. We cover all of Alfreton, including DE55, and nearby Ripley, Sutton in Ashfield and Kirkby in Ashfield. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Alfreton?

Can you fit a level-access shower upstairs?

Yes. On a timber floor, the joists are checked and a shower former is set down into the floor so the finished surface is level with the rest of the room. Where the joists run the wrong way or cannot be cut, a very low-profile tray with a gentle ramp is the alternative.
