Working in Hamilton

We cover every part of Hamilton, including ML3, and nearby Motherwell (2.2 miles) and Blantyre (3.1 miles).

Homes in and around Hamilton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Hamilton home to go with the application. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Hamilton home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.

Most of Lanarkshire is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Hamilton, 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
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

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.

Screen or curtain

A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.

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.

Is the home survey in Hamilton really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover ML3 in Hamilton?

Yes. We cover all of Hamilton, including ML3, and nearby Motherwell, Blantyre and Larkhall. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
