Working in Dunfermline
We work right across Dunfermline — KY12 — and in neighbouring Queensferry and Broxburn.
In a city the size of Dunfermline, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Dunfermline bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If someone in your Dunfermline 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 Fife is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Dunfermline, 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
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
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.
Rail positions
Rails go where you need support: beside the WC, at the shower entry and near the seat. We set heights with the user at the survey so they suit their reach.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Scotland does not have Disabled Facilities Grants. Councils run a Scheme of Assistance instead, which can help with adaptations, so contact your council before planning the work. A building warrant may be needed if the drainage is altered for a level-access floor.
