Working in Streatham

We cover every part of Streatham, including SE27, SW12 and SW16, and nearby Mitcham (2.4 miles) and Brixton (2.8 miles).

In Streatham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Streatham bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Streatham home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.

Water across much of Greater London is very hard. If your supply in Streatham 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 home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Streatham?

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.
