Working in Lofthouse

We cover every part of Lofthouse, including LS10, LS26 and WF3, and nearby Wakefield (3.2 miles) and Morley (4.2 miles).

Lofthouse 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 Lofthouse home, so the rails and seat go where they are needed. For Lofthouse 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 Yorkshire are soft. If that holds for your street in Lofthouse, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
Slip-resistant floor tiles or safety flooring that grips when wet
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.
