Houses of this age are comfortable to live in but rarely accessible as built. Bathrooms sit upstairs at the top of a turning staircase, hallways are long and narrow, and the front door is usually reached by two or three steps with a tiled path in front of it. Our work here is mostly about reorganising the home rather than fighting it: a level-access shower room where the bathroom or a box room used to be, a ground-floor sleeping space, wider openings on the route people actually use, and a proper ramped or stepped approach outside. Building Care Services is family-run and owner-led by Vernon Martins, with more than 30 years of experience. Every Beckenham project starts with a free, no-obligation visit to the property. ### Our Base Kimberley Business ParkLeaves Green, KestonBR2 6HL - Monday – Friday: 7:30am – 5:00pm - Saturday: 7:30am – 12:00pm - Sunday: Closed020 3432 3097Book a Free Assessment Local Knowledge ## What Adapting HomesIn Beckenham Actually Involves ### Where we work in Beckenham We cover BR3 in full: Beckenham town centre, Park Langley, Eden Park, Elmers End, Clock House, Shortlands and the New Beckenham and Copers Cope roads. Travel from Keston is short, which keeps disruption down: materials arrive when they are needed and the team is on site working rather than in traffic. Several roads here sit within conservation areas, so where external work affects the frontage we design it to suit the street and the approvals it needs. Call with your address and we will give you an honest view of when we can survey and when work could realistically start. ### Beckenham property types we adapt Edwardian bay-fronted villas: high ceilings, solid walls and a long hall, with the bathroom usually above the rear addition. Park Langley and interwar detached houses: wider plots with room for extensions, level side access and proper ramp gradients. Post-war semis and terraces around Elmers End and Clock House: straightforward construction that adapts predictably and economically. Purpose-built flats and conversions near the town centre: the bathroom, turning space and communal entrance are usually where the gains are. ### What Beckenham households ask us for most Level-access shower rooms replacing upstairs bathrooms that have become unsafe to use. Ground-floor bedroom and bathroom arrangements, so daily life happens on one level. Front and rear access work: ramps, second handrails, re-laid paths and better outdoor lighting. Kitchen adaptations, including lowered worktops, adapted units and appliances placed within reach.

Local Challenges ## The Problems ParticularTo Beckenham Homes ### Upstairs-only bathrooms Most Edwardian houses have one bathroom at the top of the stairs, which becomes the whole problem once stairs are hard. ### Turning staircases Winders and half-landings usually mean a curved stairlift rail or a through-floor lift rather than a straight track. ### Long narrow halls Turning a wheelchair or frame out of a narrow hall often needs an opening widened structurally. ### Stepped tiled entrances Original front paths and steps need rebuilding to achieve a safe gradient and landing. ### Conservation frontages Ramps and rails on protected elevations need a design that will be accepted, not a standard detail. ### Rear-addition bathrooms Narrow back additions rarely take a wet room without reworking the layout and the drainage.
