Working in South Hayling
In South Hayling we cover PO11; we also cover Hayling Island, 0.5 miles away, and Emsworth.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in South Hayling: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are planning ahead in South Hayling rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your South Hayling home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.
Most of Hampshire has hard water. If your supply in South Hayling 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 comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- 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
Walk-in bath
A door or low-entry bath suits people who want to keep bathing, but you have to sit inside while it fills and drains.
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.
