Working in Allerton

We work right across Allerton — L18, L19 and L25 — and in neighbouring Hunts Cross and Garston.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Allerton: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Allerton home to go with the application. If your Allerton bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.

Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Allerton, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady

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.

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Allerton?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Allerton?

Building control for Allerton is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

How long does an accessible bathroom take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Allerton.

Where should grab rails go in a bathroom?

Grab rails go where you need support to move: beside the WC, at the shower entry, near the shower seat and sometimes beside the basin. The right heights depend on the person, so we set them at the survey with the person who will use them, or follow an occupational therapist recommendation if there is one.
