Help.
Was hoping to remove a bath and fit a shower at my 86 year old disabled mothers home, she can-not no longer climb in/out of a bath, even with assistance.
Just for the record, she owns a 125 year lease from the local council.
However, the local council said NO-WAY would we get permission to carry out the work.
The reason given, the shower might leak and the water might find it's way through to the flat below.
My argument was, what about the automatic washing machine, the central heating, the boiler and any other water pipes that could leak. Their reply was still NO.
Has anyone come up against this before, are they right, or wrong.
Thanks for any feedback and all will be greatly appreciated.
