Surrey housing tends to be generous in plot size, which is helpful: where there is driveway and garden, a ramp can be built to a comfortable gradient and a ground-floor bedroom or shower room extension is often realistic without losing existing rooms. Much of the county is hilly, and sloping plots are the single most common external challenge here. Driveways that fall away from the house, stepped approaches and terraced gardens all change how level access has to be engineered. Building Care Services is family-run and owner-led by Vernon Martins, with more than 30 years of experience. Every Surrey 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 Surrey Actually Involves ### Where we work in Surrey East Surrey is closest: Caterham, Warlingham, Oxted, Godstone, Redhill, Reigate and Horley. We also work across Epsom, Ewell, Banstead, Leatherhead, Dorking, Esher, Woking, Guildford and the surrounding towns and villages. Larger projects further west are planned in continuous runs, so the team stays on your job rather than losing time to the road. For village and rural properties, delivery and waste access is checked at survey. Narrow lanes and long private drives change how the work is sequenced. ### Surrey property types we adapt Detached and large semi-detached houses: generally the easiest to adapt well, with space for ground-floor conversions, extensions and properly graded ramps. Interwar and post-war suburban housing: straightforward structurally, with scope for wet rooms, widened openings and level access front and rear. Period cottages and village properties: solid walls, uneven floors and split levels that need building work rather than standard fittings. Retirement and low-rise flats: commonly needing bathroom conversion, better lighting and level access at the communal entrance. ### What Surrey households ask us for most Full wet rooms and walk-in showers replacing baths in first-floor and ground-floor bathrooms. Ramps, handrails and re-laid paths on sloping approaches and long driveways. Through-floor lifts and stairlifts, with the building work and making good carried out around the installation. Ground-floor bedroom and bathroom conversions in larger houses, so daily life can happen on one level.

Local Challenges ## The Problems ParticularTo Surrey Homes ### Sloping plots and driveways Falls across a plot change what a ramp or level path has to be, and often require steps, landings or retaining work. ### Long approaches Where the parking is far from the door, the route itself needs surfacing, lighting and handrails, not just the threshold. ### Large houses on two or three floors Reorganising daily living onto one level is often a better answer than adapting every floor. ### Period and village fabric Solid walls, uneven floors and low head heights limit some standard solutions. ### Wet and frosty conditions Shaded paths and patios stay slippery for long periods, so surfacing has to be specified for it. ### Rural access Narrow lanes and private drives affect deliveries, waste removal and sequencing.
