Working in Hazel Grove
As well as Hazel Grove itself (SK2, SK6 and SK7), we survey in Bredbury, Stockport and Bramhall.
Hazel Grove gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Hazel Grove home to go with the application. If someone in your Hazel Grove 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.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Hazel Grove, 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
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- 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
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.
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.
