Enhancing Independence with Full Home Adaptations
FB Builders Ltd. is committed to helping residents in Stockton-on-Tees live safely, comfortably, and independently in their homes. Our Support Systems service covers everything from crucial external access aids to complex internal structural alterations needed for major adaptations.
We work closely with homeowners, families, and occupational therapists to design and implement tailored solutions that meet specific mobility and accessibility requirements.
1. Mobility Support Systems & Access Aids
We supply and professionally install a wide range of aids designed to secure safe movement throughout your property:
- Custom Ramps: Design and build of secure, compliant, and durable wheelchair ramps (permanent or modular) for safe entry and exit points.
- External Handrails and Balustrades: Installation of robust, weather-resistant railings for steps, pathways, and patios, ensuring stability in all weather conditions.
- Internal Support Rails: Secure fitting of continuous handrails along staircases and corridors to assist with steady movement and fall prevention. (In addition to the grab rails installed in bathrooms and wet rooms).
- Doorway Widening: Structural modification of doorways and passageways to accommodate wheelchairs or walking aids.
2. Structural Support and Home Alterations
Major home adaptations often require structural alterations to create the necessary space and layout. As experienced general builders, FB Builders Ltd. manages these critical changes safely and professionally:
- Load-Bearing Walls: Safely removing or modifying load-bearing walls to create open-plan mobility spaces (e.g., combining a bathroom and a cupboard to create a larger wet room).
- Steel Beam Installation: Installation of structural steel beams (RSJs) or lintels to support new openings, ensuring the structural integrity of the property is fully maintained.
- Subfloor Preparation: Preparation and reinforcement of subfloors necessary for complex installations like recessed walk-in shower trays or specialized equipment.
