Working in Borehamwood
We cover every part of Borehamwood, including WD6, and nearby Barnet (3.3 miles) and Bushey (3.6 miles).
In Borehamwood, 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 Borehamwood home to go with the application. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Borehamwood home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.
Most of Hertfordshire has very hard water. If your supply in Borehamwood 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 basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
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.
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.
