Working in Bridgend

We cover every part of Bridgend, including CF31 and CF35, and nearby Porthcawl (5.7 miles) and Llantwit Major (7.6 miles).

In Bridgend, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Bridgend homes where the only toilet is in the bathroom, we plan the work so it stays usable for as much of the job as possible. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Bridgend home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.

Most of Mid Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Bridgend, 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 basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards

Decisions to make first

Seat

A wall-mounted fold-down seat saves space and stays put. A freestanding shower stool is portable but takes floor space and can shift.

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 Wales

In Wales, Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £36,000 are applied for through your local council. The Welsh Part P has a wider list of notifiable electrical work than England.

Where should grab rails go in a bathroom?

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.
