Working in South Ockendon
In South Ockendon we cover RM15, RM19 and RM20; we also cover Grays, 2.9 miles away, and Swanscombe.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in South Ockendon: free survey, written quote, one team. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your South Ockendon home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If your South Ockendon bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.
Supplies across most of Essex are very hard. If your supply in South Ockendon 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 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
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
Decisions to make first
Screen or curtain
A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.
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.
