Working in Cowley

We work right across Cowley — OX1, OX3 and OX4 — and in neighbouring Oxford and Abingdon.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Cowley: free survey, written quote, one team. If someone in your Cowley 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. For Cowley 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.

Water across much of Oxfordshire is hard. If your supply in Cowley 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

Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed

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.

Rail positions

Rails go where you need support: beside the WC, at the shower entry and near the seat. We set heights with the user at the survey so they suit their reach.

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.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
