Innovation Construction Services can improve most aspects of accessibility in your home, including door widening.

Door widening can be a simple or a complex job, depending on the location and type of door, but we've yet to come across a door that can't be widened! Whether interior or exterior, our team know what to do and we'll make it look like the new wider doorway has always been there.

Making your whole home accessible

If your home is more than 20 years old, there's a good chance none of the doors are wide enough for wheelchair access. The average width of an internal doorway in England is around 75mm narrower than the width of an adult’s wheelchair. We would recommend that internal doorways should be at least 32 inches wide to allow for safe passage from room to room.

*If doorways are usually approached at an angle, it's worth considering some extra width if possible.

Adjusting interior doors or door frames will usually only require minor alterations and our team can can be in and out with the minimum of fuss. However, exterior doors can require adjustments to brickwork and maybe some levelling, so your should plan for increased disruption although our team will always put your comfort and safety first.
