Working in Leatherhead
We work right across Leatherhead — KT21 and KT22 — and in neighbouring Epsom and Cobham.
Homes in and around Leatherhead vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Leatherhead home to go with the application. For Leatherhead 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.
Water across much of Surrey is hard. If your supply in Leatherhead 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 fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
- 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
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.
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.
