Working in Saddleworth
As well as Saddleworth itself (OL3), we survey in Oldham, Stalybridge and Royton.
In Saddleworth, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Saddleworth home to go with the application. If your Saddleworth bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Saddleworth, 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
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- 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
Decisions to make first
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
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.
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.
