Working in Old Trafford
In Old Trafford we cover M16, M17 and M32; we also cover Stretford, 1.3 miles away, and Salford.
Old Trafford gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If your Old Trafford bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If someone in your Old Trafford 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 Old Trafford, 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
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
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.
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.
