We seldom think about old age until it is upon us. This is especially true when you are fit and healthy, and are leading a full life. However, small adaptations in the home at this time can have significant benefits in later life.

Independent 4 Life are specialists in independent living solutions, helping you to continue to live in your home for as long as possible. As well as assisting those who are already in need of facilities and guidance, we also help those wishing to future-proof their properties without detracting from the style or value of their homes.

Level access shower rooms (or ‘wet rooms’) are a good example of a practical future-proofing solution. They allow a simple walk-in shower experience without the need to navigate steps, an increasing problem in older age. Furthermore, well-constructed wet rooms can be superbly stylish in design and can also increase the value of your home.

As Chartered Surveyors we have the experience and facilities necessary to plan, project manage and undertake your adaptation works, while taking into account what future-proofing works we can incorporate. We are Regulated by the RICS, giving you the assurance of independent monitoring and ensuring the highest professional standards. Additionally, we are Trading Standards approved via the ‘Buy With Confidence’ scheme in operation in the South East of England, and all our vetted contractors are highly qualified and experienced.

Alternatively, we offer a Design and Supply service for adaptation materials allowing your trusted local builder, to undertake your works, while fully supported by our technical team. Our online shop 4-Life has a huge selection of products from the best suppliers on the market, who have been selected for their quality of materials, reputation and standard of customer support. If you require a product we do not display in our shop, please contact us and we will endeavour to source this for you at a competitive price.
