Housing of this kind adapts well. Construction is consistent, hallways are usually wide enough to work with, most homes have side access, and gardens generally allow a ramp with a proper gradient rather than a steep improvisation. The typical brief here is straightforward and practical: take out a bath that has become dangerous, form a shower room on the ground floor, make the front and back doors usable, and sort out the small things, rails, lighting, taps and thresholds, that quietly cause most of the daily difficulty. Building Care Services is family-run and owner-led by Vernon Martins, with more than 30 years of experience. Every Bexley project starts with a free, no-obligation visit. ### 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 Bexley Actually Involves ### Where we work in Bexley We cover Bexley village, Bexleyheath, Welling, Barnehurst, Crayford, Slade Green, Northumberland Heath and the Erith and Old Bexley borders. Bexley is an easy run from our Keston yard, so surveys and return visits are simple to arrange around the household. For council and housing-association homes we work to the landlord's required consents and specifications, identified at survey. We do not quote a fixed response time. Call with your address and we will give you an honest answer on timing. ### Bexley property types we adapt 1930s bay-fronted semis: consistent construction, good hall widths and reliable scope for downstairs shower rooms. Chalet bungalows and bungalows: frequently the fastest route to fully level living with widened doors and level thresholds. Post-war terraces and estate housing: compact bathrooms that usually need reconfiguring rather than refitting. Newer housing towards Crayford and Slade Green: modern construction that adapts predictably and cleanly. ### What Bexley households ask us for most Wet rooms and walk-in showers replacing baths that can no longer be used safely. Downstairs shower rooms and ground-floor bedrooms formed from existing rooms or a rear extension. Ramps, dropped kerbs, level thresholds and re-laid paths front and back. Stairlifts and handrails, with the preparation and making good carried out properly.

Local Challenges ## The Problems ParticularTo Bexley Homes ### Small original bathrooms 1930s and post-war bathrooms often need reconfiguring, sometimes borrowing from a box room, to take a level-access shower. ### Stepped front entrances Raised thresholds and front steps need a ramp with proper length, landings and handrails. ### Upstairs-only bathrooms Where stairs have become unsafe, the answer is usually a ground-floor shower room rather than a stairlift alone. ### Suspended timber floors Forming falls and drainage for a wet room means working within the floor structure, not on top of it. ### Narrow side access Getting to the back door with a wheelchair often needs the path widened and re-laid. ### Chalet bungalow stairs Steep, tight stairs to a converted loft rarely take a standard stairlift and need a considered alternative.
