Working in Mangotsfield
In Mangotsfield we cover BS5, BS15 and BS16; we also cover Kingswood, 2.4 miles away, and Keynsham.
In Mangotsfield, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If someone in your Mangotsfield 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 Mangotsfield home to go with the application.
Supplies across most of Gloucestershire are hard. If your supply in Mangotsfield 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
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
Decisions to make first
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
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.
