Your Adaptations Partner in essex
specialising in providing fully adapted homes for people affected by catastrophic injury. We support Court of Protection solicitors, deputies, case managers, architects, and occupational therapists at both pre and post-litigation stages.
The John Ford Group specialises in adapting homes to make living easier for those with disabilities -whether for rental properties or forever homes. We handle everything from simple alterations to complex building conversions or entire garden annexes.
Large scale extensions, conversions, and equipment installations are guided by specialist architects or solicitors and managed by our professional construction managers. Approved by Trading Standards and regulated by the Chartered Institute of Building, we provide trusted specialist home adaptations and equipment installations across Essex and the surrounding counties, focusing solely on this niche rather than general building work. Our workforce comprises skilled managers, tradesmen, and fitters dedicated to delivering top service.
We pride ourselves on transparency, honesty, and trust, collaborating closely with occupational therapists to ensure adaptations provide maximum benefit without unnecessary changes. This commitment earns referrals from OTs, case managers, care companies, solicitors, and other care professionals, while most referrals come from satisfied customers.
