Working in Basingstoke
We work right across Basingstoke — RG21, RG22, RG23 and 1 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Tadley and Alton.
Basingstoke has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If your Basingstoke bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If you are planning ahead in Basingstoke rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.
Water across much of Hampshire is hard. If your supply in Basingstoke 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
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
