Working in Bangor

In Bangor we cover LL57 and LL59; we also cover Caernarfon, 8.3 miles away, and Llandudno.

Bangor gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If someone in your Bangor 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. For Bangor 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.

Water across much of Gwynedd is soft. If that holds for your street in Bangor, 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 comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards

Decisions to make first

Low tray or level floor

A low-profile tray with a very shallow lip suits someone who can step a little. A tiled level floor falling to a drain is needed for a wheelchair or wheeled shower chair.

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 Wales

In Wales, Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £36,000 are applied for through your local council. The Welsh Part P has a wider list of notifiable electrical work than England.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Bangor: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in Bangor?

An accessible bathroom in Bangor usually costs £5,600–£13,000 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover LL57 and LL59 in Bangor?

Yes. We cover all of Bangor, including LL57 and LL59, and nearby Caernarfon, Llandudno and Colwyn Bay. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Bangor?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Bangor?

Building control for Bangor is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do I pay VAT on a disabled bathroom?

Often not. Building work to adapt a home for a disabled person, such as converting a bath to a level-access shower, can be zero-rated under HMRC VAT Notice 701/7. It is not means-tested; the person, or someone on their behalf, signs an eligibility declaration. We go through which items qualify with you before quoting.
