Working in Bishopbriggs
In Bishopbriggs we cover G64; we also cover Glasgow, 3.2 miles away, and Kirkintilloch.
Bishopbriggs gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are planning ahead in Bishopbriggs rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. For Bishopbriggs homes where the only toilet is in the bathroom, we plan the work so it stays usable for as much of the job as possible.
Supplies across most of Greater Glasgow are soft. If that holds for your street in Bishopbriggs, 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
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
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.
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 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.
