Working in Speke

We cover every part of Speke, including L24, L25 and L26, and nearby Halewood (1.4 miles) and Hunts Cross (1.5 miles).

Speke gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Speke home to go with the application. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Speke home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.

Supplies across most of Merseyside are soft. If that holds for your street in Speke, 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

A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet

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.

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 home survey in Speke really free?

Do you cover L24 in Speke?

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
