Working in Worcester

We work right across Worcester — WR1, WR2, WR3 and 3 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Droitwich and Great Malvern.

In a city the size of Worcester, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. For Worcester 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. If you are planning ahead in Worcester rather than reacting to a fall, a low-profile shower and hidden rail backing can go in now and be added to later.

Supplies across most of Worcestershire are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Worcester. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
A basin set at a height that suits sitting or standing
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer

Decisions to make first

Colour contrast

Contrast between floor, walls, rails and the WC seat makes the room easier to use for people with sight loss or dementia.

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.

Who handles building control for an accessible bathroom in Worcester?

Building control for Worcester 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.
