Working in Aldershot

In Aldershot we cover GU11; we also cover Farnham, 2.8 miles away, and Farnborough.

In Aldershot, 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 Aldershot home to go with the application. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Aldershot home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.

Most of Hampshire has hard water. If your supply in Aldershot is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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
A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed

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.

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 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.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
