Working in Fort William
We cover all of Fort William, including PH33, and nearby Inverness and Nairn. Because Fort William is further afield, we arrange survey visits in batches; tell us your timescale and we will confirm a date before you commit to anything.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Fort William: free survey, written quote, one team. If someone in your Fort William home is finding the bath hard to get in and out of, a level-access shower in the same space is usually the first option we look at. If you are planning ahead in Fort William rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.
Most of the Highlands and Islands is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Fort William, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
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.
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.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Scotland does not have Disabled Facilities Grants. Councils run a Scheme of Assistance instead, which can help with adaptations, so contact your council before planning the work. A building warrant may be needed if the drainage is altered for a level-access floor.
