Working in Haywards Heath
In Haywards Heath we cover RH16; we also cover Burgess Hill, 3 miles away, and Crawley.
In Haywards Heath, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Haywards Heath bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. For Haywards Heath 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 West Sussex are hard. If your supply in Haywards Heath 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
- Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision
- 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 fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
Decisions to make first
Screen or curtain
A half-height or folding screen lets a carer help without getting soaked. A weighted curtain is easier than glass for some people to move.
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.
