Disabled Access & Mobility Contractors

Disabled access and mobility adaptations can make a property easier and safer to use for people with disabilities or limited mobility. Depending on individual needs, adaptations can range from relatively small additions such as grab rails to larger projects including ramps, widened doorways, accessible bathrooms and stairlifts.

If you are considering adaptations to your home, your local authority or social care service may be able to arrange an assessment to identify suitable equipment or alterations. Financial assistance may also be available for some adaptations, depending on your circumstances and where you live.

Mobility Aids

There is a wide range of mobility equipment available for use around the home, including grab rails, gripping aids, non-slip mats, reachers, trolleys, door-opening aids and stairlifts. The equipment or adaptations that are suitable will depend on the individual's mobility requirements and the layout of the property.

If you are having difficulty using your home, you can contact your local authority or social care service to ask about an assessment. An occupational therapist may assess how you use your home and identify equipment or adaptations that could make everyday activities easier or safer.

When considering a stairlift, factors such as the shape and length of the staircase, the user's mobility and the available space should be taken into account. Different stairlifts and mobility products offer different features, so an assessment can help determine which options are suitable for the user and property.

Disabled Facilities Grants

A Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) may be available to help pay for essential adaptations to a disabled person's home. Depending on the circumstances, eligible work can include improving access to and around the property, installing a stairlift or ramp, or adapting bathroom facilities.

Eligibility, available funding and the application process can vary depending on where you live and your circumstances. Some applications are means tested, while different arrangements can apply to adaptations for disabled children. Contact your local authority before arranging work if you intend to apply for financial assistance.

Renovation and Home Improvement Work

Some goods and building work supplied to eligible disabled people may qualify for VAT relief. This can include certain accessibility adaptations and mobility equipment when the relevant conditions are met.

VAT relief does not apply automatically to every home improvement or mobility project, so check whether the work and your circumstances meet the eligibility requirements before the project begins.

If you require accessibility or mobility adaptations, compare quotes from local contractors and check exactly what work, equipment and installation are included. Click the "post your job" button to receive quotes from contractors in your area.
