Working in Emsworth

As well as Emsworth itself (PO9 and PO10), we survey in Havant, South Hayling and Hayling Island.

Emsworth gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We can work alongside an occupational therapist assessment for your Emsworth home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. If someone in your Emsworth home is finding the bath hard to get in and out of, a level-access shower in the same space is usually the first option we look at.

Most of West Sussex has hard water. If your supply in Emsworth 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 comfort-height WC, with support rails where needed
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
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet

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.

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.

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.

More about accessible bathrooms

Accessible bathrooms in Emsworth: questions

What is the price of an accessible bathroom in Emsworth?

An accessible bathroom in Emsworth usually costs £6,700–£15,750 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover PO9 and PO10 in Emsworth?

Is the water hard in Emsworth?

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Emsworth?

Building control for Emsworth is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do I pay VAT on a disabled bathroom?

Often not. Building work to adapt a home for a disabled person, such as converting a bath to a level-access shower, can be zero-rated under HMRC VAT Notice 701/7. It is not means-tested; the person, or someone on their behalf, signs an eligibility declaration. We go through which items qualify with you before quoting.
