Working in Burgess Hill
We cover every part of Burgess Hill, including RH15, and nearby Haywards Heath (3 miles) and Lewes (8.5 miles).
Homes in and around Burgess Hill vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Burgess Hill bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. For Burgess Hill 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.
Most of West Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Burgess Hill 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
- 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
- A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
- A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
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.
