Working in Daventry

As well as Daventry itself (NN11), we survey in Rugby, Northampton and Royal Leamington Spa.

Homes in and around Daventry vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Daventry 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. If you are planning ahead in Daventry rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.

Water across much of Northamptonshire is hard. If your supply in Daventry is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. 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 fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer

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.

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.

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Daventry: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in Daventry?

An accessible bathroom in Daventry usually costs £5,800–£13,500 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the water hard in Daventry?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Daventry?

Building control for Daventry is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do I pay VAT on a disabled bathroom?

Often not. Building work to adapt a home for a disabled person, such as converting a bath to a level-access shower, can be zero-rated under HMRC VAT Notice 701/7. It is not means-tested; the person, or someone on their behalf, signs an eligibility declaration. We go through which items qualify with you before quoting.
