Working in Eccles

As well as Eccles itself (M6, M17 and M30), we survey in Swinton, Salford and Stretford.

In Eccles, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are planning ahead in Eccles rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Eccles home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.

Supplies across most of Greater Manchester are soft. If that holds for your street in Eccles, 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

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
