Working in Shepherds Bush
In Shepherds Bush we cover W11, W12 and W14; we also cover Chiswick, 1.8 miles away, and Fulham.
In Shepherds Bush, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Shepherds Bush bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If you are planning ahead in Shepherds Bush 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 Shepherds Bush 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 fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
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.
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.
