Disabled Adaptations in Frome
Albino Builders Ltd: Improving Accessibility in Homes & Commercial Spaces Around Shepton Mallet
If you’re looking for a friendly, experienced builder to carry out disabled adaptations in Frome or Shepton Mallet, Albino Builders Ltd is here to help. With decades of hands-on experience in both structural and interior works, we understand how important it is that your home or commercial space works for you — not the other way around.
We offer a full range of disabled adaptations to suit all types of homes, business premises, and individual requirements, from simple mobility adaptations like grab rails and stair lifts, to more complex structural alterations that open up spaces, widen access, or redesign rooms entirely. Our work spans the practical and the personal, and is always tailored to the unique needs of our clients — including children, elderly family members, and co-workers living with disabilities.
As a fully accredited builder (TrustMark, FMB, NICEIC, and Gas Safe), you can count on us for safety, compliance, and quality from start to finish.
Home Adaptations
Our home disabled adaptations cover a wide range of areas to ensure your property is safer, more accessible, and easier to live in. Here are just some of the key services we provide in and around the Frome and Shepton Mallet areas:
Access Changes
We can widen doorways, install ramps, fit threshold-free door systems, and improve exterior pathways to ensure smooth and safe entry and exit to your property.
Mobility Adaptations
These include the installation of handrails, grab bars, lever-style door handles, and stair lifts. We also adapt room layouts for easier navigation.
Accessible Bathrooms
We carry out full and partial accessible bathroom conversions to improve comfort and independence. Wet rooms, walk-in showers, and raised WCs are just some of the features we provide.
Kitchen Redesigns
Our team can lower worktops, install pull-out shelving, adapt cupboard access, and move appliances to suit seated or standing use.
Stairway Adaptations
These include stair lift installations, handrail upgrades, and alternative access options if stairs are no longer suitable.
Structural Alterations
We undertake major structural alterations including removing walls to create open-plan spaces, installing pocket doors, and widening hallways to improve circulation.
Accessible Bathrooms
The bathroom should be a space that feels private, safe, and easy to use. We specialise in accessible bathrooms that are practical, modern, and stylish. Our team will talk through your individual requirements to ensure every feature supports your mobility and safety needs.
Common disabled adaptations for bathrooms include:
Anti-slip vinyl flooring
Grab rails positioned by toilets, baths, and showers

We also cater for disabled adaptations for children. This might include adjustable-height fixtures, easy-to-use taps and flush systems, and safety-conscious layouts for children with learning difficulties or physical disabilities.
Kitchen Adaptations
Creating a kitchen that is both functional and accessible is something we take great pride in. Whether you require changes for a seated workspace or safer appliance access, we provide practical and attractive mobility adaptations for kitchens of all sizes.

Lowered worktops for wheelchair users
