Working in Burntwood

We work right across Burntwood — WS7 — and in neighbouring Great Wyrley and Lichfield.

Homes in and around Burntwood vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Burntwood home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If you are planning ahead in Burntwood rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.

Most of Staffordshire has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Burntwood. 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
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Burntwood: questions

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

An accessible bathroom in Burntwood 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. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Burntwood really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover WS7 in Burntwood?

Yes. We cover all of Burntwood, including WS7, and nearby Great Wyrley, Lichfield and Cannock. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Burntwood?

Can you fit a level-access shower upstairs?

Yes. On a timber floor, the joists are checked and a shower former is set down into the floor so the finished surface is level with the rest of the room. Where the joists run the wrong way or cannot be cut, a very low-profile tray with a gentle ramp is the alternative.
