Working in Faversham

We work right across Faversham — ME13 — and in neighbouring Whitstable and Sittingbourne.

Faversham gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Faversham 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. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Faversham home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.

Most of Kent has very hard water. If your supply in Faversham 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

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision

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 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.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
