Working in Hadleigh

We cover every part of Hadleigh, including SS7, SS8 and SS9, and nearby South Benfleet (2.2 miles) and Rayleigh (2.3 miles).

Hadleigh gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If someone in your Hadleigh 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 Hadleigh home to go with the application.

Most of Essex has very hard water. If your supply in Hadleigh 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 home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
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 thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Hadleigh: questions

How much does an accessible bathroom cost in Hadleigh?

How long does an accessible bathroom take?

Is the home survey in Hadleigh really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover SS7 in Hadleigh?

Yes. We cover all of Hadleigh, including SS7, SS8 and SS9, and nearby South Benfleet, Rayleigh and Canvey Island. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
