Working in Newark on Trent
We work right across Newark on Trent — NG24 — and in neighbouring Grantham and Arnold.
In Newark on Trent, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are planning ahead in Newark on Trent rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later. If your Newark on Trent bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.
Supplies across most of Nottinghamshire are hard. If your supply in Newark on Trent 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 home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
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.
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.
