We are local builders who adapt homes for disabled and older people: safer bathrooms, level ways in and out, wider doors, rooms downstairs. Most of our work is paid for by the council, and we’ll explain everything as we go.
Having builders in is a big thing, especially when your home is also where you rest, get care and feel safe. This is how we work, every job, every day.
You’ll get a call the day before, and a knock at the time we said. No surprises on the doorstep.
The same small team from start to finish, all wearing ID, all DBS-checked. We’ll tell you their names before day one.
We plan the work so you always have a working toilet and a way to wash, every single night.
We protect floors and furniture, keep walkways clear for frames and wheelchairs, and leave each room safe at the end of the day.
Carer visits, medication times, a regular nap or a hospital appointment — tell us and we’ll plan the noisy bits around them.
Each morning we’ll say what we’re doing that day. Ask anything, as often as you like — or ask us to talk to a family member instead.
Most people come to us through an occupational therapist (often called an OT) from the council. Here is what usually happens next.
They talk with you about what’s getting harder at home, and recommend changes that would help — a wet room, a ramp, a stairlift.
Often this is a Disabled Facilities Grant. The council or a home improvement agency helps with the forms, and then asks us to price the work.
We’ll look at the room, measure carefully and listen to how you’d like to use it. Have someone with you if you’d like.
Usually Tom, our director, and sometimes your OT too.
We’ll write to you with the date, how many days it should take and who will be coming. If a date doesn’t suit, just say.
We arrive when we said, protect your home, and explain each morning what the day involves. You stay in your home throughout.
Your site lead is your contact for any worry, big or small.
We walk through the finished room with you, show you how things work, clean up properly and leave you with a simple guide and our number.
We ring a few weeks later to check all is well. If anything isn’t right, we come back and put it right.
Baths swapped for level-access wet rooms with a seat, rails and a floor you can walk or wheel straight onto.
Ramps, level doorsteps, wider paths and dropped kerbs, so the front door is no longer a barrier.
Doorways opened up for wheelchairs and walking frames, with easy-grip handles.
Getting your home ready for a stairlift or a through-floor lift, and making good afterwards.
Ground-floor bedroom and bathroom extensions, so you can live comfortably on one level.
Worktops at the right height, grab rails, and strong ceilings ready for a hoist. Small changes often matter most.
A family firm, now in its second generation. Many of our team have been with us for more than a decade.
Started the firm after years as a joiner. Still pops in to check the rails are straight.
Does most first visits, and is the person OTs and councils talk to.
Runs each job day to day. Your first call for any question while we’re working.
Answers the phone, arranges dates, and makes sure you always know what’s next.

A 1930s semi where the bath had become impossible. We fitted a level wet room with a fold-down seat, and widened the door for a walking frame.
Three steps meant a wheelchair user hadn’t left home unaided in a year. A gentle ramp and handrails changed that in a week.
After a stroke, the stairs were no longer safe. A small extension gave a bedroom and wet room downstairs, with a ceiling ready for a hoist.
Dad was so worried about strangers in the house. By the second day he was making them tea. They explained everything, cleaned up every night, and now he can get himself showered without waiting for help.
We’ve worked alongside OTs, grants officers, home improvement agencies and housing associations for thirty years. Here’s what you’ll usually ask for.
Sample figures — to be confirmed before publishing.

My clients often feel anxious before work starts. Reeve & Son take the time to explain, and the finished adaptations are exactly what I specified.
Itemised quotes, photos at each stage and paperwork that’s always complete. They make a grants officer’s job easier.
Most of our work is paid for through a Disabled Facilities Grant from your council. Depending on your circumstances there may be a contribution; your council or OT will explain this before any work is agreed. We never ask you for money on the doorstep.
Almost always, yes. We plan the job so you keep a working toilet and a way to wash every night. For bigger jobs like extensions, we’ll talk through the plan with you and your family first.
A typical bathroom-to-wet-room conversion takes around one to two weeks. We’ll give you a clear timetable before we start.
A small team who are all DBS-checked and wear ID. We’ll tell you their names in advance, and the same people will be with you from start to finish.
Of course. With your permission, we’re happy to keep a son, daughter, friend or carer updated, and to arrange visits when they can be there.
Contact your local council’s adult social care team and ask for an occupational therapy assessment. Or ring us — we’re happy to explain how it works in your area.
Ring the office and you’ll speak to someone who knows your job. If it’s easier, ask a family member or carer to call for you.
