Working in Poulton-le-Fylde
As well as Poulton-le-Fylde itself (FY2, FY3 and FY6), we survey in Blackpool, Thornton-Cleveleys and Lytham St Annes.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Poulton-le-Fylde: free survey, written quote, one team. If the bath in your Poulton-le-Fylde home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If someone in your Poulton-le-Fylde home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem.
Supplies across most of Lancashire are soft. If that holds for your street in Poulton-le-Fylde, 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 low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
Decisions to make first
Safety extras
A fold-down seat, grab rails and a slip-resistant tray cost little at the time of fitting and are much harder to add later.
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 England
In England, adding an electric shower usually means a new circuit, which is notifiable under Part P, as is any change to the wiring in the bathroom. Where the conversion is an adaptation for a disabled person, a Disabled Facilities Grant of up to £30,000 may help, but the council must approve it before work starts.
