Working in Felling

We work right across Felling — NE8, NE9 and NE10 — and in neighbouring Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne.

Homes in and around Felling vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Felling 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 applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Felling home to go with the application.

Water across much of Tyne and Wear is soft. If that holds for your street in Felling, 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

Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer

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.

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.

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.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
