Working in Boston

We work right across Boston — PE21 — and in neighbouring Spalding and Sleaford.

Homes in and around Boston 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 Boston home to go with the application. If your Boston bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.

Supplies across most of Lincolnshire are hard. If your supply in Boston 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 basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards

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.

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Boston: questions

How much should I budget for an accessible bathroom in Boston?

An accessible bathroom in Boston usually costs £5,800–£13,500 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Boston really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover PE21 in Boston?

Yes. We cover all of Boston, including PE21, and nearby Spalding, Sleaford and Skegness. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Boston?

Can you fit a level-access shower upstairs?

Yes. On a timber floor, the joists are checked and a shower former is set down into the floor so the finished surface is level with the rest of the room. Where the joists run the wrong way or cannot be cut, a very low-profile tray with a gentle ramp is the alternative.
