Working in East Kilbride
As well as East Kilbride itself (G74), we survey in Cambuslang, Blantyre and Rutherglen.
East Kilbride has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If someone in your East Kilbride 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. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your East Kilbride home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.
Water across much of Lanarkshire is soft. If that holds for your street in East Kilbride, 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
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
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.
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 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.
