Working in Cheadle Hulme
We work right across Cheadle Hulme — SK3, SK7 and SK8 — and in neighbouring Bramhall and Stockport.
In Cheadle Hulme, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Cheadle Hulme bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If someone in your Cheadle Hulme 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 Manchester are soft. If that holds for your street in Cheadle Hulme, 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
- 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
- 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
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.
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.
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.
