Working in Beckenham

As well as Beckenham itself (BR3, SE20 and SE26), we survey in Catford, Croydon and Blackheath.

London homes in Beckenham often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Beckenham home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If your Beckenham bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Beckenham 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
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing

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 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.

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.
