Working in Forfar
As well as Forfar itself (DD8), we survey in Carnoustie, Dundee and Arbroath.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Forfar: free survey, written quote, one team. We check the floor under the bath during a Forfar survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards. If someone in your Forfar home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Supplies across most of Dundee and Angus are soft. If that holds for your street in Forfar, 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
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- A survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
Decisions to make first
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, a bath to shower swap in the same position rarely needs a building warrant, but a level-access floor that alters drainage or structure may. For adaptation help, councils run a Scheme of Assistance rather than Disabled Facilities Grants.
