Home Extensions for Greater Accessibility
Transforming Living Spaces with Thoughtful Design for Disabled Living
Home extensions can significantly enhance the quality of life by providing additional space and facilities tailored to specific needs. Modern adaptations do not have to compromise on style. Thoughtful design ensures that accessibility features blend seamlessly with the overall decor of the home, creating a space that is both practical and visually appealing.
Our team will also ensure all modifications have the necessary Planning Permissions and comply with the required Building Regulations.
Accessible Living Spaces
Extensions can include accessible bedrooms, living areas, and kitchens designed to accommodate mobility aids such as wheelchairs. Features like wider doorways, lower countertops, and open floor plans ensure safe and easy movement and independence. Modular home extensions offer a quick and effective solution for creating accessible living spaces. These pre-fabricated units can be customised to include all necessary adaptations and are installed with minimal disruption to the existing home.

Ceiling Track Hoist Systems
For individuals with significant mobility challenges, ceiling track hoist systems can be installed to assist with transfers between different areas of the home, such as from the bedroom to the bathroom. These systems provide a safe and efficient way to move around without the need for manual lifting.
Environmental Controls
Integrating smart home technology can further enhance accessibility. Features such as voice-activated lighting, climate control, and automated doors can be controlled with minimal physical effort, providing greater independence and convenience.
