Bespoke Verandas for Mobility Access for York Homes and Gardens
A York accessibility veranda is a small structure with a specific brief: no thresholds, no lips, non-slip underfoot, and safe lighting after dark. Ouse valley flooding shapes drainage detail; low winter sun means glass roofs pull real heat gains from November onward, so covered access matters more here than in a milder county.

Verandas for Mobility Access and the North Yorkshire climate

Frequently asked questions
What warranty do you offer?
Ten years on the aluminium frame, five to ten on the glass, and workmanship guaranteed by us.
Is it VAT-exempt?
Some accessibility works qualify for reduced VAT under HMRC rules — we can supply the paperwork and let your accountant confirm.
Can grab rails be added to the posts?
Yes — we pre-drill and reinforce posts on request so grab rails can bolt on without weakening the frame. Common York spec on accessibility jobs.
Is the patio finish non-slip?
If we lay it, yes — R11-rated slabs or a resin overlay. If your existing patio isn't grippy, we'll flag it on the survey and quote a resurface separately.
Do you liaise with OTs on York adaptations?
Yes — where an occupational therapist is involved in a York home adaptation, we co-ordinate directly on threshold heights, lighting and grab-rail readiness.
