Working in Stamford Hill
We work right across Stamford Hill — E5, N15 and N16 — and in neighbouring Highbury and Tottenham.
London homes in Stamford Hill 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 Stamford Hill home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If you are planning ahead in Stamford Hill 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 Stamford Hill 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
- 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
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
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.
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.
