Working in Washwood Heath
We cover every part of Washwood Heath, including B8, B9 and B24, and nearby Aston (2.4 miles) and Birmingham (3.4 miles).
Homes in and around Washwood Heath vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Washwood Heath home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If your Washwood Heath bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor.
Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Washwood Heath. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
- Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
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.
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.
