Working in Southampton
We work right across Southampton — SO14, SO15, SO16 and 3 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Hythe and Totton.
Southampton is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. For Southampton 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. If you are planning ahead in Southampton 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 Southampton 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
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
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.
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.
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.
