Working in Melton Mowbray
In Melton Mowbray we cover LE13 and LE14; we also cover Oakham, 9.4 miles away, and Mountsorrel.
Homes in and around Melton Mowbray 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 Melton Mowbray home to go with the application. If you are planning ahead in Melton Mowbray 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 Leicestershire are hard. If your supply in Melton Mowbray 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
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- 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
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
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.
