Working in Clacton-on-Sea
We work right across Clacton-on-Sea — CO15 — and in neighbouring Frinton-on-Sea and Walton-on-the-Naze.
In Clacton-on-Sea, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Clacton-on-Sea 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 Clacton-on-Sea 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 Essex has very hard water. If your supply in Clacton-on-Sea 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 basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
Decisions to make first
Walk-in bath
A door or low-entry bath suits people who want to keep bathing, but you have to sit inside while it fills and drains.
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.
