Working in Paignton

We work right across Paignton — TQ2, TQ3 and TQ4 — and in neighbouring Torquay and Brixham.

In Paignton, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Paignton 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 Paignton 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 Paignton, 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

Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing

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.

Colour contrast

Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.

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 Paignton?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Paignton?

Building control for Paignton 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.

How long does an accessible bathroom take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Paignton.

Where should grab rails go in a bathroom?

Grab rails go where you need support to move: beside the WC, at the shower entry, near the shower seat and sometimes beside the basin. The right heights depend on the person, so we set them at the survey with the person who will use them, or follow an occupational therapist recommendation if there is one.
