Working in Bury St Edmunds
We work right across Bury St Edmunds — IP32 and IP33 — and in neighbouring Thetford and Stowmarket.
Homes in and around Bury St Edmunds vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Bury St Edmunds bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If you are planning ahead in Bury St Edmunds rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.
Water across much of Suffolk is very hard. If your supply in Bury St Edmunds 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 home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
- A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
