Working in Stanford-le-Hope
As well as Stanford-le-Hope itself (SS16 and SS17), we survey in Basildon, Pitsea and Grays.
In Stanford-le-Hope, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Stanford-le-Hope home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If your Stanford-le-Hope bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.
Most of Essex has very hard water. If your supply in Stanford-le-Hope 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 fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
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.
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.
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.
