New beta version of canterbury.gov.uk
We've launched a new version of this website. If you have any problems finding what you need you can visit the old site.
Home adaptations for people with disabilities
Find out about adaptations for your home, how much they cost, and if you can get help to pay for them.
Home adaptations - like level access shower rooms, ramps, or chairlifts - are designed to help you stay independent.
Our home adaptations service is reliable and competitively priced.
Get a quote for an adaptation
We currently have a long waiting list for our adaptations.
You'll need to get a full quote for what you need but estimated prices are:
- level access shower rooms - £6,000 to £8,000
- access ramps (approximately 3 metres in length) - £2,500 to £3,000
- straight track stairlifts - £2,000
- curved track stairlifts - £5,000
If you ask for a quote one of our staff members will arrange a visit to see what work is needed.
Help towards the cost of adaptations
You might be able to get a grant for the changes you need for your home.
You need to contact Kent County Council (KCC) for a needs assessment.
If KCC decides that you do need an adaptation they will refer you to us and let us know what you need.
A housing officer from our team will visit you to check you are eligible for a grant, make sure your home is suitable, and let you know what happens next.
