Working in Nottingham

In Nottingham we cover NG1, NG3, NG5 and 3 more postcode districts; we also cover West Bridgford, 1.9 miles away, and Hucknall.

In a city the size of Nottingham, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Nottingham home to go with the application. For Nottingham 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 Nottinghamshire has hard water. If your supply in Nottingham 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 thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Nottingham: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in Nottingham?

An accessible bathroom in Nottingham usually costs £5,800–£13,500 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover NG1 in Nottingham?

Is the water hard in Nottingham?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Nottingham?

Building control for Nottingham 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.
