FAQs

Do you provide disability adaptations across all of Horley?
Yes, we cover the RH6 postcode area in full, including Massetts, Lonsdale, Smallfield, Horley Row, Westvale Park.
How is this different from your bathroom adaptations service?
Bathroom adaptations covers accessible bathroom and wet room work directly. This service covers the wider range of adaptations — ramps, stairlifts, door widening and similar — that often go through a Disabled Facilities Grant or comparable funding route, and can include bathroom work as part of that wider funded schedule.
Do you handle the Disabled Facilities Grant application for me?
No, the application and means test are administered by your local authority, usually alongside an Occupational Therapist assessment. We can provide the itemised quotation the application typically needs and carry out the approved works, but the application itself is between you and the council.
Does living near Gatwick Airport affect planning permission in Horley?
Some development types near the airport are subject to safeguarding consultation with the airport operator as part of the planning process. This does not apply to all projects, and we advise on the specific position for your address.
