Working in Hunts Cross
We cover every part of Hunts Cross, including L19, L24 and L26, and nearby Allerton (1.4 miles) and Halewood (1.4 miles).
Hunts Cross gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If someone in your Hunts Cross 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. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Hunts Cross home to go with the application.
Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Hunts Cross, 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
- A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
- 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
Walk-in bath
A door or low-entry bath suits people who want to keep bathing, but you have to sit inside while it fills and drains.
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.
