Public company record
The company appears in public records and its registered activities may relate to the selected trade or adaptation need.
Company information and inclusion
Why is a company listed on Accessible Trades?
Accessible Trades helps people find UK companies that may provide accessible home adaptations, including accessible bathrooms, wet rooms, ramps, handrails, widened doors, home lifts, stairlifts and related building work.
How companies are found
Public records create the starting point
Accessible Trades uses public company information to identify businesses whose registered activities may relate to accessible home improvement and adaptation work. This includes records published by Companies House and the Standard Industrial Classification codes a company has registered for its business activities.
Relevant activities can include general building, plumbing, electrical work, joinery, kitchen and bathroom installation, architectural services, surveying, lift installation and other specialist services. These records help narrow a large national company dataset into potentially useful local results.
How inclusion works
From registered activity to a local search result
Registered company information is reviewed
Companies House records and registered SIC activities are used to identify businesses that may be relevant to home adaptation work.
Location and service type are matched
Search results are filtered by distance and the trade categories selected by the user, such as bathrooms, ramps, lifts, plumbing or building work.
Supporting evidence may improve relevance
Council records, public-sector sources and official company websites can provide an additional reason to show a company more prominently.
Supporting evidence
Why some home adaptation companies are shown first
Evidence-backed results are prioritised
A relevant council source, public contract, framework listing or official company website has been found and reviewed against the company identity.
Supporting evidence may describe accessible bathrooms, wet rooms, ramps, stairlifts, hoists, widened doorways, Disabled Facilities Grant work or other home adaptation services.
A company without supporting evidence may still provide suitable work. It simply means Accessible Trades has not yet recorded an additional public source for that company.
What a listing means
A research lead rather than a recommendation
Possible supporting source
A website, council record or public-sector source may provide a clearer reason why the company could be relevant.
No automatic endorsement
Inclusion does not confirm workmanship, safety, pricing, availability, insurance or suitability for a particular project.

What a company listing cannot confirm
A registered activity describes part of a company's business, but it does not prove that the company currently provides a particular adaptation, works throughout the surrounding area or is suitable for an individual project.
Accessible Trades does not accredit companies, inspect completed work, manage contracts, process payments or guarantee quality, safety, availability, price or eligibility for a grant.
Corrections and removal requests
What to do if company information is wrong
Company records, websites, telephone numbers and service descriptions can change. A business owner, customer or member of the public can report information that appears inaccurate, outdated, duplicated or connected to the wrong company.
Include the company name, company number, the relevant page or search result, what appears to be wrong and a reliable source showing the correction. Requests are reviewed before information is changed or a listing is suppressed.
