Working in Newton-le-Willows
As well as Newton-le-Willows itself (WA2, WA3 and WA12), we survey in Golborne, Ashton in Makerfield and Haydock.
Newton-le-Willows gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If someone in your Newton-le-Willows 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 Newton-le-Willows home to go with the application.
Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Newton-le-Willows, 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
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- 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 thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
Decisions to make first
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.
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
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.
