Working in Loughborough
We work right across Loughborough — LE11 and LE12 — and in neighbouring Mountsorrel and Coalville.
Homes in and around Loughborough vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Loughborough home to go with the application. If you are planning ahead in Loughborough 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 Loughborough 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 comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
Decisions to make first
Screen or curtain
A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.
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.
