Major home adaptations.
The bigger changes that keep your home liveable as your needs change — stairlifts, level-access showers, through-floor lifts, widened doorways, accessible entrances. We handle the funding paperwork and the installation.

When a home starts working against the person living in it — stairs that have become a daily worry, a bathroom that isn’t safe, a front-door step that ends a walk before it begins — the right adaptation puts things back in balance.
Most clients qualify for a Disabled Facilities Grant through their council, which can cover the full cost up to the statutory limit. We’ll work out whether you qualify and handle the paperwork.
A stairlift can mean the difference between using your whole home and being stuck downstairs. We survey the staircase, recommend the right model, and install — often within a few weeks of DFG approval.
A level-access shower, with non-slip flooring and grab rails in the right places, makes washing safe again. We've fitted hundreds of them across the region.
Widening doorways and removing tight thresholds gives back the run of the house. We'll measure, plan the structural work, and tidy up properly afterwards.
Accessible entrances — ramps, level thresholds, handrails, and where needed a covered porch — turn a barrier back into a doorway.
A through-floor lift gives access to upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms when a stairlift isn't enough. We design the install around the home — not the other way around.
We do. We work with councils across the region on DFG applications every week. We'll talk you through eligibility, fill in the forms with you, and only proceed once the funding is confirmed.
Most major adaptations are covered in full by the council’s Disabled Facilities Grant. We manage the paperwork, the trades, and the install — and we do this work every week.
We’ll listen first — to what’s actually hard at home, and what you’d like to change. No pressure, no commitment.
A major adaptation isn’t just a stairlift or a shower. It’s everything around it — and we don’t leave any of it out.
A trained caseworker comes to the home and talks through what's working and what isn't.
We complete the DFG paperwork with you and liaise with the council on your behalf.
We work out the right equipment and install for your home — not a standard kit.
Skilled, vetted tradespeople who do this work every week — not a different sub every time.
We make good, decorate where needed, and clean up properly when we leave.
If something's not right after install, we'll come back. [TBC: confirm warranty period]
[TBC: pull a real client testimonial about a major adaptation. Placeholder reads like the kind of thing clients say.] They came round, looked at the stairs, explained what was possible, and a few weeks later I had a stairlift fitted. I can use the whole house again.
