Transforming a Home: Full Kitchen Renovation with Accessibility in Mind
Transforming a Home: Full Kitchen Renovation with Accessibility in Mind
At Keystone Contracts, we recently completed an incredible specialist kitchen refurbishment designed to combine functionality, safety, and modern style for a client with accessibility needs. This was much more than a standard kitchen makeover – it was a full-scale adaptation, tailored for independence and comfort.
The Challenge
The existing kitchen and adjoining areas were outdated, lacked accessibility features, and presented health and safety risks due to asbestos in the ceilings.
Our client required:
- A fully accessible kitchen with adjustable work surfaces.
- Level access throughout for wheelchair mobility.
- Wider doors and safe entry points.
- A complete wet room and new floor coverings for durability and hygiene.
Our Specialist Solution
We carried out a comprehensive refurbishment that transformed the property from top to bottom. Here’s what the project involved:
- Asbestos Removal: All ceilings were safely removed by licensed specialists to eliminate any hazards.
- Full Electrical Rewire: Upgraded the entire electrical system to meet current safety standards.
- Door Widening: Every internal door was widened for smooth wheelchair access, including the installation of level access external doors.
- Flooring Upgrade: Installed slip-resistant, easy-clean floor coverings throughout the home for safety and convenience.
- Wet Room Installation: Added a modern wet room, fully tanked and fitted with grab rails, non-slip flooring, and a level access shower.
- Specialist Kitchen Fit-Out: The centerpiece of the project – a Ropox height-adjustable worktop for ultimate accessibility, along with ProCare solutions for maximum functionality. This allows the client to cook and prepare meals comfortably, with work surfaces and units that adjust to their needs.
The Result
The transformation is stunning and practical. The client now has:
- A modern, stylish kitchen with cutting-edge accessibility features.
- Safe and easy movement throughout the property.
- A home fully compliant with current building and safety regulations.
- A new wet room and upgraded flooring that will serve them for years to come.
This project is a perfect example of how thoughtful design, quality products, and expert workmanship can dramatically improve quality of life.
