Working in Eastwood

We work right across Eastwood — DE7, DE75 and NG16 — and in neighbouring Ilkeston and Heanor.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Eastwood: free survey, written quote, one team. For Eastwood 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 someone in your Eastwood home is finding the bath hard to get in and out of, a level-access shower in the same space is usually the first option we look at.

Water across much of Nottinghamshire is hard. If your supply in Eastwood 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
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
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

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.

Accessible bathrooms in Eastwood: questions

How much should I budget for an accessible bathroom in Eastwood?

An accessible bathroom in Eastwood 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 Eastwood?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Eastwood?

Building control for Eastwood 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.
