Working in Vale of Leven
We cover every part of Vale of Leven, including G82 and G83, and nearby Dumbarton (1.9 miles) and Helensburgh (6.2 miles).
Vale of Leven gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are planning ahead in Vale of Leven rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Vale of Leven home to go with the application.
Supplies across most of Greater Glasgow are soft. If that holds for your street in Vale of Leven, 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
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
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 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.
