Working in Earl Shilton
We work right across Earl Shilton — LE9 and LE10 — and in neighbouring Hinckley and Nuneaton.
Earl Shilton gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Earl Shilton home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If you are planning ahead in Earl Shilton rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.
Most of Leicestershire has hard water. If your supply in Earl Shilton is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
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.
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.
