Working in Caernarfon

We work right across Caernarfon — LL55 — and in neighbouring Bangor and Holyhead.

Caernarfon 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 Caernarfon home to go with the application. If your Caernarfon bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.

Most of Gwynedd is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Caernarfon, 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 home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing

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.

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 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.

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Caernarfon?

Building control for Caernarfon 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.

How long does an accessible bathroom take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Caernarfon.

Where should grab rails go in a bathroom?

Grab rails go where you need support to move: beside the WC, at the shower entry, near the shower seat and sometimes beside the basin. The right heights depend on the person, so we set them at the survey with the person who will use them, or follow an occupational therapist recommendation if there is one.
