Council house adaptations

We provide an adaptation service for tenants and their families with physical disabilities who live in council dwellings.

Please read our Adaptations policy for Council Tenants.

The following list is typical of the types of adaptations we carry out. However, it is not exclusive and each application is treated on its own merits.

• Fitting of internal and external grab rails
• Alterations to existing steps and door thresholds
• Construction of concrete ramps
• Replacing baths with level floor or low profile showers
• Installing a stairlift

Applications are now submitted directly to Great Yarmouth Borough Council's Community Hub department, if you would like to see if you would be eligible for an adaptation, please complete the Home Adaptations Enquiry form and we will get in touch to discuss your possible adaptation needs. 

Please use this form if you believe you would benefit from an adaptation to your home. You will be eligible for a triage call if you live in Great Yarmouth, regardless of whether you own your own home or not. If you are an eligible council tenant, the Council will fund these works.

No, you will not be means tested and the Council will normally pay for works up to a maximum value of £30,000.
