Our yard is at Kimberley Business Park in Keston, minutes from Bromley South, so work here is genuinely local: we can survey quickly, return with materials the same day and keep a job moving rather than stringing it out across weeks. The housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian villas around Shortlands and Bickley to interwar semis in Bromley Common and Hayes, plus a growing number of apartment schemes around the town centre. Each one adapts differently, so the survey looks at construction, drainage and circulation before anything is specified. Most people call us at a turning point rather than out of curiosity: a fall, a hospital discharge, a diagnosis, or the slow realisation that the bath has become the hardest part of the day. We start from what someone needs to do in the home, then work out what the building will allow. Building Care Services is family-run and owner-led by Vernon Martins, with more than 30 years of experience. Every Bromley 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 Bromley Actually Involves ### Where we work in Bromley We cover BR1 and BR2 in full: Bromley town centre, Bromley Common, Shortlands, Bickley, Plaistow, Sundridge Park, Downham, Keston and Hayes. Being based in Keston means short travel, quick second visits and easy snagging. That matters most on adaptations, where small adjustments after someone has lived with the change are often what make it work properly. We do not publish a response-time promise. Call with your address and we will tell you honestly when we can visit and when work could start. For council or housing-association properties in the borough, we work to the landlord's consent and specification requirements and flag those at survey. ### Bromley property types we adapt Victorian and Edwardian villas around Shortlands, Bickley and Sundridge Park: generous rooms, solid walls, steep original stairs and bathrooms added later in awkward positions. Interwar and post-war semis in Bromley Common, Downham and Hayes: predictable construction, good scope for ground-floor shower rooms and rear extensions. Bungalows and chalet bungalows around Keston and Hayes: often the easiest homes to make fully single-level, with level thresholds and wider doorways. Town-centre apartments: usually level inside already, so work concentrates on the bathroom, turning space and the communal entrance. ### What Bromley households ask us for most Bath removal and wet-room or walk-in-shower conversion, by some distance the most common request. Downstairs shower rooms and ground-floor bedrooms, often formed from a dining room, garage or small rear extension. Ramps, handrails and level thresholds at the front and back door, plus safer paths across sloping gardens. Grab rails, lever taps, half-steps and improved lighting, fitted quickly while a larger project is being considered.

Local Challenges ## The Problems ParticularTo Bromley Homes ### Bathrooms in rear additions Older Bromley houses often have the bathroom in a narrow back addition, so a wet room means reworking the space rather than refitting it. ### Steep original stairs Period stairs with winders can defeat a standard stairlift, which points towards a curved rail or a through-floor lift. ### Stepped front paths Raised front doors and sloping approaches need a proper gradient and a landing, not a short temporary ramp. ### Solid walls and timber floors Widening an opening or forming falls for a wet room is structural work in these houses. ### Living across two floors Often the practical answer is bringing sleeping and washing onto the ground floor rather than adapting every level. ### Flats and communal doors Level access at the shared entrance involves the freeholder as well as the household.
