Working in Tottenham

In Tottenham we cover N6, N8, N10 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Edmonton, 1.6 miles away, and Wood Green.

In Tottenham, 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 Tottenham home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. For Tottenham homes where the only toilet is in the bathroom, we plan the work so it stays usable for as much of the job as possible.

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

Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
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.

Colour contrast

Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.

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.

Accessible bathrooms in Tottenham: questions

How much does an accessible bathroom cost in Tottenham?

An accessible bathroom in Tottenham 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.

Do you cover N6 in Tottenham?

Is the water hard in Tottenham?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Tottenham?

Building control for Tottenham 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.
