Creating additional space to support independence, comfort and long term living at home.
As needs change, existing living spaces don't always provide the room or accessibility required for comfortable day to day life.
A specialist home extension can create the additional space needed for accessible bedrooms, bathrooms, therapy areas or complex care requirements.
Every project is carefully designed around your individual circumstances, helping you live more safely, comfortably and independently both now and in the future.
We had been looking to work with JFG in our projects for some time following an initial recommendation. When the opportunity arose, it was pleasing to see not only their quality workmanship - but also excellent communication from site operatives and John himself throughout the project. This helped to deliver our first project with them to budget and on time. The collaborative effort between us was also very assuring to our client - an important and often overlooked skill in this challenging sector.

We specialise in adaptations for people living with disabilities, serious injuries and changing mobility needs. Unlike general builders, our focus is on creating practical, accessible spaces that support independence, dignity and quality of life.
We understand that an adapted bathroom is about more than construction — it’s about helping people feel safer, more confident and less reliant on others in their own home.
Our experience working alongside Occupational Therapists, Case Managers and rehabilitation professionals means we understand how to deliver solutions that are tailored to each individual’s needs.
From accessible bathrooms and wet rooms to level-access showers and specialist bathing solutions, we manage the process with care, expertise and clear communication, ensuring your adaptation is delivered by specialists who understand what matters.
What is an accessible home extension?
An accessible home extension is a purpose-designed addition to your property that creates extra space to meet mobility, disability or care needs. It may include accessible bedrooms, bathrooms, therapy rooms or other specialist living areas.
Who might benefit from a home extension?
Home extensions can benefit people living with disabilities, serious injuries, progressive conditions, ageing-related mobility changes or anyone whose current home layout no longer meets their needs.
What types of rooms can be included in an accessible extension?
Extensions can be designed to accommodate accessible bedrooms, wet rooms, therapy spaces, treatment rooms, carers' facilities, sensory rooms or additional living areas tailored to your requirements.
How do you decide what type of extension is needed?
We begin by understanding your current circumstances, challenges and future needs. Working alongside Occupational Therapists, Case Managers and other professionals where required, we develop a solution that is tailored to you.
Can an extension help me avoid moving house?
In many cases, yes. An extension can provide the space and accessibility needed to continue living safely and comfortably in a home and community you already know and love.
Will the extension be designed around my future needs as well as my current requirements?
Absolutely. We always consider how needs may change over time, helping to create solutions that remain practical, effective and adaptable for years to come.
Do I need planning permission for an accessible extension?
Some projects require planning permission, while others may fall under permitted development rights. We can advise on the requirements for your specific project and assist with the process where necessary.
Can you work from an Occupational Therapist's recommendations?
Yes. We regularly work from Occupational Therapy assessments and accommodation reports to ensure designs meet the functional requirements identified by healthcare and rehabilitation professionals.
How long does an accessible extension project take?
Timescales vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. Following an initial assessment, we will provide clear information on design, approvals, construction and anticipated completion dates.
Will the extension match the rest of my home?
Yes. We aim to ensure all extensions integrate seamlessly with the existing property, creating spaces that are both practical and visually in keeping with your home.
Creating the right space can make a significant difference to comfort, independence and quality of life. Whether you're considering an accessible bedroom, bathroom or a larger extension project, our experienced team is here to help.
