Working in Thornton-Cleveleys
As well as Thornton-Cleveleys itself (FY2, FY5 and FY6), we survey in Poulton-le-Fylde, Fleetwood and Blackpool.
Homes in and around Thornton-Cleveleys vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Thornton-Cleveleys bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Thornton-Cleveleys home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.
Water across much of Lancashire is soft. If that holds for your street in Thornton-Cleveleys, 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
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- 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.
Seat
A wall-mounted fold-down seat saves space and stays put. A freestanding shower stool is portable but takes floor space and can shift.
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.
