Working in Hoyland Nether

Hoyland Nether gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Hoyland Nether 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. If someone in your Hoyland Nether 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.
Most of South Yorkshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Hoyland Nether. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- 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
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.
Walk-in bath
A door or low-entry bath suits people who want to keep bathing, but you have to sit inside while it fills and drains.
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.
