Working in Skelmersdale
We work right across Skelmersdale — WN8 — and in neighbouring Ormskirk and Wigan.
In Skelmersdale, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Skelmersdale bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Skelmersdale home to go with the application.
Water across much of Lancashire is soft. If that holds for your street in Skelmersdale, 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 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
- 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.
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 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.
