Working in Stretford

We cover every part of Stretford, including M17, M32 and M41, and nearby Old Trafford (1.3 miles) and Urmston (1.5 miles).

In Stretford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Stretford bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. For Stretford homes where the only toilet is in the bathroom, we plan the work so it stays usable for as much of the job as possible.

Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Stretford, 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

A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
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.

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.

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Stretford: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in Stretford?

An accessible bathroom in Stretford usually costs £5,600–£13,250 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Is the home survey in Stretford really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover M17 in Stretford?

Yes. We cover all of Stretford, including M17, M32 and M41, and nearby Old Trafford, Urmston and Sale. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Stretford?

Can you fit a level-access shower upstairs?

Yes. On a timber floor, the joists are checked and a shower former is set down into the floor so the finished surface is level with the rest of the room. Where the joists run the wrong way or cannot be cut, a very low-profile tray with a gentle ramp is the alternative.
