Working in Rawtenstall
We work right across Rawtenstall — BB4 and OL13 — and in neighbouring Haslingden and Ramsbottom.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Rawtenstall: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Rawtenstall bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If you are planning ahead in Rawtenstall rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.
Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. If that holds for your street in Rawtenstall, 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
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
- 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.
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.
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.
