At Solid Living Support Ltd, we understand that a home should be a place where everyone feels safe, comfortable, and empowered to live independently. That’s why we’re committed to providing tailored home adaptations in our supported housing across London, ensuring our properties meet the unique needs of each resident. Our goal is to create accessible, functional, and welcoming homes that support independence and enhance quality of life.
What Are Home Adaptations?
Home adaptations are changes or additions made to a living space to make it safer, more accessible, and better suited to an individual’s needs. For residents with physical disabilities, mobility challenges, or other specific requirements, these adaptations can make all the difference, enabling them to navigate their home with ease and confidence.
At Solid Living Support Ltd, we design our supported housing—whether shared houses in Hackney, self-contained flats in Ealing, or specialist accommodations in Croydon—with accessibility in mind. Our adaptations are carefully planned to ensure residents can live as independently as possible while feeling secure and supported.

Why Home Adaptations Matter
Home adaptations are about more than just physical changes—they’re about empowering residents to live life on their terms.
At Solid Living Support Ltd, we’ve seen how the right adaptations can transform lives:
A young person leaving care in Lambeth can cook their own meals in an adapted kitchen, building confidence and independence.
An older adult in Barnet can move safely around their home with grab rails and a walk-in shower, maintaining their dignity.
A resident with a physical disability in Southwark can access every part of their flat, feeling truly at home.
By tailoring our homes to each resident’s needs, we remove barriers and create spaces where people can thrive, whether they’re recovering from homelessness, managing a disability, or transitioning to independent living.
How We Deliver Home Adaptations
At Solid Living Support Ltd, our process for home adaptations is person-centered and collaborative:
Assessment: We work with residents, their families, and professionals (such as occupational therapists or social workers) to assess specific needs and preferences.
Planning: Our team designs adaptations that are practical, safe, and aligned with the resident’s goals, ensuring compliance with UK accessibility standards.
Funding: Many adaptations are funded through local council grants, such as Disabled Facilities Grants (DFG), or social care budgets. We guide residents through the funding process to make it as smooth as possible.
Implementation: Our trusted contractors carry out adaptations efficiently, with minimal disruption to residents, ensuring high-quality results.
Ongoing Support: We regularly check in to ensure adaptations continue to meet residents’ needs and make adjustments as required.
