How bathroom adaptation funding routes generally work
Funding for home adaptations in England is typically assessed by the local authority, often beginning with an occupational therapy assessment. Eligibility and amounts are decided by them, not by the fitter.
Questions to ask any fitter
Quotes for grant-funded work generally need to match the assessed specification, which is another reason the OT recommendation drives the design.
Frequently asked
Can you tell me if I qualify?
No, eligibility is determined by the local authority following assessment. We can quote against whatever specification results.
Does funding cover the whole room?
Funding is normally targeted at the assessed need rather than a full cosmetic refit.
