Working in Ormskirk

As well as Ormskirk itself (L39 and WN8), we survey in Maghull, Skelmersdale and Kirkby.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Ormskirk: free survey, written quote, one team. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Ormskirk home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If someone in your Ormskirk 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.

Water across much of Lancashire is soft. If that holds for your street in Ormskirk, 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 thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
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
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Ormskirk?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Ormskirk?

Building control for Ormskirk is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do I pay VAT on a disabled bathroom?

Often not. Building work to adapt a home for a disabled person, such as converting a bath to a level-access shower, can be zero-rated under HMRC VAT Notice 701/7. It is not means-tested; the person, or someone on their behalf, signs an eligibility declaration. We go through which items qualify with you before quoting.
