Working in Wimborne Minster
As well as Wimborne Minster itself (BH17, BH18 and BH21), we survey in Ferndown, Poole and Bournemouth.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Wimborne Minster: free survey, written quote, one team. For Wimborne Minster 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 Wimborne Minster home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.
Water across much of Dorset is hard. If your supply in Wimborne Minster 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
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- 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
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
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.
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.
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.
