Navigating home adaptations and repairs for an elderly relative can be stressful and confusing. We help you understand what is needed, find trusted contractors and get the work done properly.

Compare Options Fairly
We help you compare quotes on a like-for-like basis so you are not misled by vague or inflated estimates.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know what adaptations my relative actually needs?
We can help you carry out a structured home assessment — either virtually or in person — to identify the key risks and priorities. An occupational therapist assessment can also be arranged if required.
Are there grants available for adaptations?
Yes. Disabled Facilities Grants are available through local councils for eligible individuals. We help you understand what your relative may be entitled to before commissioning any work.
How do I avoid being overcharged by contractors?
Unfortunately, elderly homeowners are sometimes targeted by unscrupulous traders. We vet all contractors, compare multiple quotes on a like-for-like basis and never use contractors who use high-pressure sales tactics.
Can you manage the project if I do not live nearby?
Yes — this is one of the most common situations we help with. We act as your eyes and ears on the ground, managing contractors and keeping you informed throughout the project.
What if my relative is reluctant to accept help?
We understand this is a sensitive situation. We can help you start with a simple conversation about safety and frame any works in terms of comfort and independence rather than dependency.
