Working in Ashton-under-Lyne
In Ashton-under-Lyne we cover M34, M43, OL6 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover Dukinfield, 1.1 miles away, and Stalybridge.
Homes in and around Ashton-under-Lyne vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Ashton-under-Lyne bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. For Ashton-under-Lyne 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 Manchester is soft. If that holds for your street in Ashton-under-Lyne, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
Decisions to make first
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.
Walk-in bath
A door or low-entry bath suits people who want to keep bathing, but you have to sit inside while it fills and drains.
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.
