Working in Scarborough
In Scarborough we cover YO11 and YO12; we also cover Guisborough, 31.6 miles away, and Redcar.
In Scarborough, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Scarborough bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. For Scarborough 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.
Most of North Yorkshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Scarborough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
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.
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray with a very shallow lip suits someone who can step a little. A tiled level floor falling to a drain is needed for a wheelchair or wheeled shower chair.
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.
