Working in Bournemouth
We cover every part of Bournemouth, including BH1, BH2, BH3 and 8 more postcode districts, and nearby Poole (4.6 miles) and Ferndown (6.1 miles).
Across a large town like Bournemouth, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Bournemouth home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Bournemouth home to go with the application.
Supplies across most of Dorset are hard. If your supply in Bournemouth is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
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.
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.
