Hello …
My Dad is 98 and has unfortunately become blind; he also has problems with mobility.
My Dad is 98 and has unfortunately become blind; he also has problems with mobility.
I am therefore thinking of creating an Accessible Wetroom / bathroom for him to use downstairs in our garage.
Now, I have seen that there is UK Law setting a minimum size for a Wetroom in a commercial building or business premises - but we are not a business.
Therefore, I wondered if anyone knows or has has experience of putting in a smaller Wetroom - and also receiving a Disabled Facilties Grant to do so?
