Working in Greenford

In Greenford we cover UB1, UB5 and UB6; we also cover Northolt, 1.5 miles away, and Southall.

In Greenford, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Greenford bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If someone in your Greenford 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.

Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Greenford 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
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed

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.

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 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 Greenford really free?

Do you cover UB1 in Greenford?

Yes. We cover all of Greenford, including UB1, UB5 and UB6, and nearby Northolt, Southall and Brent. 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.
