Working in Exmouth

We work right across Exmouth — EX8 — and in neighbouring Exeter and Newton Abbot.

Homes in and around Exmouth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Exmouth homes where the only toilet is in the bathroom, we plan the work so it stays usable for as much of the job as possible. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Exmouth home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.

Supplies across most of Devon are soft. If that holds for your street in Exmouth, 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 thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
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
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.

Screen or curtain

A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.

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.

Is the water hard in Exmouth?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Exmouth?

Building control for Exmouth is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do I pay VAT on a disabled bathroom?

Often not. Building work to adapt a home for a disabled person, such as converting a bath to a level-access shower, can be zero-rated under HMRC VAT Notice 701/7. It is not means-tested; the person, or someone on their behalf, signs an eligibility declaration. We go through which items qualify with you before quoting.
