Working in West Bridgford
As well as West Bridgford itself (NG2), we survey in Nottingham, Arnold and Long Eaton.
In West Bridgford, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your West Bridgford home to go with the application. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your West Bridgford home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed.
Supplies across most of Nottinghamshire are hard. If your supply in West Bridgford 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 fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- 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
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
