Disability adaptations

Unfortunately, not all homes are built ready for less mobile occupants.  Therefore, you may find that you need to adapt a property so that it is accessible and comfortable for your unique needs.  At Benco Builders, we are proud to be able to adapt properties and rooms to support less able people.

From access ramps to stairlift installations, Benco’s team of building experts are always happy to help adapt and transform homes to better fit changing needs and requirements.  We can adapt bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms and corridors to offer complete ease of access for a variety of means.

For example, in some spaces, you may require walking rails or lifting equipment to be able to ease yourself up and down.  When your needs change, your house should, too!

However, this is sometimes easier said than done for many people.  Therefore, it makes sense to speak to a leading team of builders who can put flexible disability adaptations in place into a variety of different homes.

Are you in need of more flexibility at home?  Contact Benco Builders today.  We will be happy to set up accessibility features which will support you for the years to follow.  Call or contact us online for a free quote without obligation.

Creating a safe, accessible, and comfortable home environment is essential for maintaining independence and dignity—especially when mobility challenges arise. At Benco Builders, we’re committed to supporting individuals and families who require bespoke home adaptations. We understand that no two sets of needs are the same, and that’s why we approach every project with sensitivity, respect, and a focus on tailored, practical solutions.

Whether you’re adapting a home for yourself, an elderly relative, or a loved one living with a disability, our team is here to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our goal is to help you remain confident and secure in your living space by designing and installing the modifications that truly make a difference to your daily routine.

Accessibility is about more than just adding ramps or wider doorways—it’s about creating an environment where every room is easy to use, navigate, and enjoy. That might mean lowering kitchen worktops and cupboards for wheelchair users, installing non-slip flooring, or reconfiguring entire rooms to eliminate trip hazards and tight spaces. We’ve helped transform homes with level-access showers, walk-in bathtubs, sensor-operated lighting, and fully adapted kitchens designed for one-handed use or seated access.

Many of our clients are also concerned about future-proofing their homes. Even if you don’t need extensive changes right now, small, thoughtful adaptations can make a big impact over time. That’s why we offer expert advice on how to build in flexibility, allowing you to adapt further as your needs evolve. This might include fitting strong wall supports for grab rails, choosing door thresholds that accommodate future wheelchair access, or leaving space for potential stairlift installations.

At Benco, we take pride in being both skilled builders and compassionate listeners. We’ll take the time to understand your lifestyle, your health needs, and your vision for a more accessible home. We’re happy to work in consultation with occupational therapists, mobility specialists, or healthcare professionals if needed to ensure our solutions are not only functional, but also medically appropriate.

We also appreciate that many people may feel nervous or unsure about making big changes to their homes—especially if the idea of construction work seems overwhelming. That’s why we handle everything from start to finish: planning, permissions (if required), building work, and final finishes. We work carefully, cleanly, and respectfully—minimising disruption and keeping you fully informed at every stage of the process.

Our accessibility adaptations extend across the entire home: bedrooms can be refitted with hoist tracks, bathrooms can be transformed into wet rooms with seated showers, and outdoor spaces can be reimagined with level patios, handrails, or covered pathways for year-round use. We can even assist with entranceways and parking solutions to make access easier from the moment you arrive home.

At Benco Builders, we believe everyone deserves a home that fits their needs—not the other way around. If your mobility, health, or physical needs have changed, let us help you take the next step towards a safer, more accessible living space.

Get in touch with our friendly team today for a free, no-obligation consultation. We’ll help you explore your options, offer advice, and create a tailored solution that supports you now and into the future.
