Costs and funding
What’s included and what might cost extra
Adaptations costing £1,000 or less
If you’re assessed as eligible for care and support, these smaller adaptations are usually provided at no cost to you.
Adaptations costing more than £1,000
For larger adaptations, you may need to contribute towards the cost. This will be decided through a financial assessment.
Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG)
If you need major adaptations, such as a stair lift or level-access shower, you may qualify for a Disabled Facilities Grant.
- The grant can cover larger works if you meet the eligibility criteria.
- It is means-tested, so the amount you pay depends on your financial circumstances.
