Working in Lancing

In Lancing we cover BN15; we also cover Shoreham-by-Sea, 2.1 miles away, and Worthing.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Lancing: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Lancing bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check them before promising a fully level floor. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Lancing home to go with the application.

Supplies across most of West Sussex are hard. If your supply in Lancing 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

Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
A home survey of how the room is used now and what needs to change, including door width and turning space
A fold-down shower seat and grab rails fixed into solid wall or timber backing fitted behind the boards
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision

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.

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.

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.
