Working in Mitcham

As well as Mitcham itself (CR4, SM4 and SW17), we survey in Morden, Wimbledon and Streatham.

In Mitcham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Mitcham home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If you are planning ahead in Mitcham rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.

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

Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Mitcham: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in Mitcham?

An accessible bathroom in Mitcham usually costs £7,500–£17,500 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Mitcham really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover CR4 in Mitcham?

Yes. We cover all of Mitcham, including CR4, SM4 and SW17, and nearby Morden, Wimbledon and Streatham. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Mitcham?

Can you fit a level-access shower upstairs?

Yes. On a timber floor, the joists are checked and a shower former is set down into the floor so the finished surface is level with the rest of the room. Where the joists run the wrong way or cannot be cut, a very low-profile tray with a gentle ramp is the alternative.
