Working in Surbiton

We work right across Surbiton — KT1, KT5 and KT6 — and in neighbouring East Molesey and Esher.

In Surbiton, 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 Surbiton home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If someone in your Surbiton 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.

Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. If your supply in Surbiton 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

Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady

Decisions to make first

Seat

A wall-mounted fold-down seat saves space and stays put. A freestanding shower stool is portable but takes floor space and can shift.

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.

Is the water hard in Surbiton?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Surbiton?

Building control for Surbiton is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do I pay VAT on a disabled bathroom?

Often not. Building work to adapt a home for a disabled person, such as converting a bath to a level-access shower, can be zero-rated under HMRC VAT Notice 701/7. It is not means-tested; the person, or someone on their behalf, signs an eligibility declaration. We go through which items qualify with you before quoting.
