Working in Northampton
We cover every part of Northampton, including NN1, NN2, NN3 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Newport Pagnell (13.2 miles) and Milton Keynes (15.4 miles).
Northampton is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Northampton home to go with the application. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Northampton home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.
Water across much of Northamptonshire is hard. If your supply in Northampton 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
- 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
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
Decisions to make first
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
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.
