Working in Wigston Magna
In Wigston Magna we cover LE2, LE8 and LE18; we also cover Oadby, 1.8 miles away, and Leicester.
In Wigston Magna, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are planning ahead in Wigston Magna rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. If someone in your Wigston Magna home is finding the bath hard to get in and out of, a level-access shower in the same space is usually the first option we look at.
Supplies across most of Leicestershire are hard. If your supply in Wigston Magna 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
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
