Working in Aberystwyth
In Aberystwyth we cover SY23; we also cover Carmarthen, 39.8 miles away, and Ammanford.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Aberystwyth: free survey, written quote, one team. For Aberystwyth 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. If someone in your Aberystwyth 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.
Most of Dyfed is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Aberystwyth, 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 home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
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 Wales
In Wales, Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £36,000 are applied for through your local council. The Welsh Part P has a wider list of notifiable electrical work than England.
