Working in Locharbriggs
We work right across Locharbriggs — DG1 — and in neighbouring Dumfries and Annan.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Locharbriggs: free survey, written quote, one team. If someone in your Locharbriggs home is finding the bath hard to get in and out of, a level-access shower in the same space is usually the first option we look at. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Locharbriggs home to go with the application.
Water across much of Dumfries and Galloway is soft. If that holds for your street in Locharbriggs, 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 basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
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.
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 Scotland
Scotland does not have Disabled Facilities Grants. Councils run a Scheme of Assistance instead, which can help with adaptations, so contact your council before planning the work. A building warrant may be needed if the drainage is altered for a level-access floor.
