Foundations — Home Improvement Agencies
Find your local Home Improvement Agency for help with adaptations and grants.
Foundations is the national body for Home Improvement Agencies in England. HIAs help older and disabled homeowners arrange repairs and adaptations such as level-access showers and grab rails, and can help you apply for a Disabled Facilities Grant of up to £30,000 in England towards the cost.
Before you commit
- Get a written quotation and never agree to a price on the doorstep or over the phone.
- Take your time. A genuine company will not pressure you with a "today only" discount.
- Ask a family member or friend to sit in on the visit if you can.
- Check whether you qualify for VAT relief, a council grant, or free equipment first.
- You normally have 14 days to cancel an order agreed at home or online, though bespoke fitted items can be an exception — get the cancellation terms in writing.
