A great deal of our work here comes after a hospital discharge, often from Queen Mary's, when a home that was fine last month suddenly is not. Those jobs need a clear head: what has to be usable this week, and what is worth doing properly over the following weeks. Most Sidcup houses adapt well. The bathroom is usually upstairs, so the question is whether to bring washing downstairs, install a lift, or reorganise the first floor. We set out the realistic options at the visit rather than steering you to one product. Building Care Services is family-run and owner-led by Vernon Martins, with more than 30 years of experience. Every Sidcup 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 Sidcup Actually Involves ### Where we work in Sidcup We cover DA14 and DA15: Sidcup town centre, Blackfen, Albany Park, Foots Cray, North Cray, Longlands, Lamorbey, New Eltham border and Ruxley. Sidcup is a short run from Keston, so surveys, deliveries and return visits are straightforward to arrange. Where the work follows a hospital discharge, we will be honest about what can be done quickly and what needs planning, rather than promising everything at once. For council and housing-association homes we work to the landlord's consent and specification requirements. ### Sidcup property types we adapt Interwar semis in Blackfen and Albany Park: reliable construction, workable hall widths and good scope for downstairs shower rooms. Larger detached houses around Longlands and Sidcup Hill: space for extensions, through-floor lifts and full single-level living. Maisonettes and flats near the station: bathroom reconfiguration, turning space and level access at the communal door. Bungalows and chalet bungalows: often the simplest route to a fully accessible home throughout. ### What Sidcup households ask us for most Urgent bath removals and walk-in showers, frequently arranged around a hospital discharge. Ground-floor bedroom and shower-room arrangements so daily life happens on one level. Stairlifts, through-floor lifts and second handrails, with the building work carried out around them. Ramps, level thresholds, safer paths and better outdoor lighting front and back.

Local Challenges ## The Problems ParticularTo Sidcup Homes ### Upstairs bathrooms The single family bathroom is nearly always on the first floor, which is the root of most requests here. ### Compact 1930s bathrooms Making one level-access usually means reconfiguring the space, sometimes taking in a box room. ### Timber upper floors A first-floor wet room needs the falls, tanking and drainage designed around the floor structure. ### Stepped entrances Front doors raised above path level need a ramp with proper gradient, landings and handrails. ### Maisonette stairs Internal stairs in maisonettes are often steep and tight, which limits stairlift options. ### Time pressure after discharge Doing the urgent work safely first, then the fuller project, is usually better than rushing everything.
