Accessible & mobility bathrooms in Wandsworth
Level-access showers, walk-in baths and adapted bathrooms that look like bathrooms, not wards.
Accessible work in Wandsworth concentrates in Southfields and around the Common, where long-term owners are adapting Edwardian houses to stay put. The houses cooperate: straight stairs, first-floor bathrooms with structure for level-access formers, walls that hold rails without reinforcement theatrics. The Tonsleys are harder — narrow doors and back-addition steps — and the honest answer is sometimes a ground-floor shower room addition rather than fighting the upstairs geometry. Wandsworth's DFG process is OT-led and we build to their specifications as drawn.
The houses we see in Wandsworth
The Tonsleys are 1850s–1870s two-up-two-downs where the bathroom is nearly always in the back addition — small, single-skin walls, external stack, minimal floor void. Southfields' Edwardian grid has proper first-floor bathrooms and generous structure. Earlsfield is heavily converted to flats, where bathrooms sit on split supplies with sub-metering and shared stacks. The riverside developments are new-build leasehold with concierge processes and no-cut slabs.
What accessible bathrooms involves
An accessible bathroom conversion in south London costs £4,500–£9,500 excluding VAT depending on how much adaptation is needed — from a level-access shower with grab rails at the lower end to a full wetroom with a shower seat, comfort-height WC and widened door at the top. Done well, it looks like a modern bathroom that happens to be easy to use, and Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £30,000 exist for those who qualify.
