Is level access easier in a Longton bungalow?

Usually yes — solid concrete floors take a wet-floor former set into the slab far more cleanly than suspended joists. It's one of the reasons bungalow wet rooms are so popular in Longton.

Will you widen the doorway if my wheelchair won't fit?

We coordinate with joiners on doorway widening (typically 762mm to 838mm) when the survey shows it's needed. Structural openings are checked before quote.

Can I keep a bath and still have step-free shower access?

Yes — a walk-in bath alongside a level-access shower is a common Longton bungalow layout, particularly for couples with different needs.

How disruptive is a solid-floor refit?

Chasing waste into a slab makes noise and dust for 1–2 days at the start. We contain it with plastic zip walls and dust extractors — the rest of the Longton bungalow stays liveable.

Can a wet-room be fitted upstairs in Longton?

Yes — but the floor must be cut and packed so the former sits flush. In a Longton 1930s semi we typically lose 25 – 40mm of headroom on the deck below to do it correctly.

Are you fully insured for work in Longton?

Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Longton comes with a written workmanship guarantee.

Bungalow bathrooms in Longton tend to sit on solid concrete floors rather than joists, which changes almost every part of the plan — waste routes are chased into the slab, level-access is easier to achieve, but door widths and turning circles need thinking about from day one.

We refit bungalow bathrooms with future mobility in mind: wider doorsets, blocking noggins for grab-rail fitment later, and lever taps over quarter-turn crossheads.

Longton is one of the areas we work in most weeks — so wet-room conversion jobs here come with a working knowledge of the street layouts.
