Working in Telford

We cover every part of Telford, including TF4, and nearby Shrewsbury (12.9 miles) and Wolverhampton (15.1 miles).

Across a large town like Telford, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Telford home to go with the application. If your Telford bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.

Most of Shropshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Telford. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
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

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Telford: questions

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

An accessible bathroom in Telford usually costs £5,900–£13,750 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Do you cover TF4 in Telford?

Yes. We cover all of Telford, including TF4, and nearby Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and Wednesfield. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Telford?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Telford?

Building control for Telford 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.
