Working in Godalming

In Godalming we cover GU7; we also cover Guildford, 3.8 miles away, and Haslemere.

Godalming gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Godalming 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 you are planning ahead in Godalming 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 Surrey has hard water. If your supply in Godalming 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

Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
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

Seat

A wall-mounted fold-down seat saves space and stays put. A freestanding shower stool is portable but takes floor space and can shift.

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 Godalming: questions

How much does an accessible bathroom cost in Godalming?

An accessible bathroom in Godalming usually costs £6,700–£15,750 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the water hard in Godalming?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Godalming?

Building control for Godalming 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.
