Working in Battersea

As well as Battersea itself (SW3, SW8 and SW11), we survey in Chelsea, Fulham and Brixton.

London homes in Battersea often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you are planning ahead in Battersea rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Battersea home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.

Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Battersea 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

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
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

Screen or curtain

A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.

Colour contrast

Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.

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.

Is the home survey in Battersea really free?

Do you cover SW3 in Battersea?

Yes. We cover all of Battersea, including SW3, SW8 and SW11, and nearby Chelsea, Fulham and Brixton. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
