Working in Blaydon-on-Tyne
As well as Blaydon-on-Tyne itself (NE15, NE21 and NE40), we survey in Whickham, Newburn and Newcastle upon Tyne.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Blaydon-on-Tyne: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Blaydon-on-Tyne home to go with the application. For Blaydon-on-Tyne 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.
Supplies across most of Tyne and Wear are soft. If that holds for your street in Blaydon-on-Tyne, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
- 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 comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
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.
Colour contrast
Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.
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.
