Planning support
Questions people ask before adapting a home
Home adaptation decisions can involve everyday needs, the layout of the property, who will use the space and how the household expects needs to change. The answers below offer general guidance; a conversation about your particular home can clarify the next useful step.
How much do home adaptations cost?
Costs depend on the property, the work required and the products or finishes selected. A free telephone consultation can help establish whether an OT assessment or a more focused service is the most useful first step.
Can a private OT assessment help with a Disabled Facilities Grant?
A private assessment may help explain the circumstances and recommendations being considered. The relevant local authority decides its own assessment process, evidence requirements, eligibility and any funding award.
How long can a home adaptation take?
Timescales vary with the scale of the work, the condition of the property, design decisions, contractor availability and any approvals required. Starting with a clear assessment can help identify the right sequence of decisions.
Do major adaptations need planning permission?
Some structural changes may need planning permission, building-control approval or other consents. The requirement depends on the property and proposal, so it should be checked before work is committed.
