I have just been asked the following question.
Is there any advice as to how high or how low a wash hand basin should be installed at in a disabled persons toilet.
Can anyone help with this.
Many Thanks

Check building regs.
What age range/disabilities - adults/children? This will affect the height, I would think.
I guess sitting/wheelchair height for wheelchair bound people

Can't give a reference of the top of my head, but I know there is a building spec for the height of handrails etc in a toilet for use by the disabled, so there is almost certainly one for handbasins too.
You might try one of the disability websites - Try a google on "disability now"

Why not visit a few of the disabled persons toilets in your area. Take a tape measure and make notes.

Hi i,ve seen a spec from the district surveyors association and the rim of the basin is 750mm.I work in a disabled factory and have 2 male members who are wheelchair bound.
The two members have complained that the basin is in the way and are having difficulty manouvering comfortable. Both have asked if anything could be done about it.
so we have agreed to remove the basin and adapt one in the gents accordingly that is suitable for them both.
