An adaptation to the home is something which changes the structure of the building or its fittings. A small adaptation might be putting on new door handles that are easier to use. A larger adaptation could involve fitting a lift or building an extension. Not everyone will need to make major adaptations to their home, but sometimes they can make life at home easier or safer. All kinds of solutions are available to help with different requirements.
If you are thinking about adaptations to your home, you can ask a member of your health or social care team to refer you to an occupational therapist who can do an assessment to see what would be useful for you.
You don’t need to be a home owner to have adaptations made; landlords must make reasonable adjustments for disabled tenants. Private landlords can apply for financial support for necessary works.
Adapting your home can bring huge benefits and help you retain your independence. Although even the simplest home adaptation involves managing information, costs, people and timetables, it doesn’t need to be a big inconvenience and you may be able to apply for funding to help with the costs. We can help to ensure you get the results you need and the funding you are entitled to.

client testimonials
I am pleased with the finished work. It is very nice. The contractors were hard working and very polite and helpful. Your representative was also very polite and helpful.
The work was of a high standard. They cleaned up every night and when they had finished the job. The contractors were a nice bunch of men, also the man that came first, Steve. If I ever have anything done again I would like them to do it. Thank you
