The houses in Braunton
Braunton has a lot of bungalows, and a lot of people who moved into one on purpose. That is a good start, because a single storey removes the biggest problem before it arrives. What comes up instead is everything at the edges: a step or two up from the drive, a garage that has become hard to get into, a bathroom fitted in the 1980s, and paths that green over quickly this close to the marsh and the sea air.
The work we take on here
Every one of these is arranged and managed by us, and inspected before it is signed off.
Level access showers
The most common job here. A bungalow bathroom will usually take one, and we tell you honestly what the room and the drainage will allow.
The step from the drive
A rail, a handrail on both sides, or a proper threshold ramp. On level ground a ramp often works well here where it would not in a hillside town.
Slippery paths and drives
Salt air and damp mean moss comes back. We clear it and, where it keeps happening, we look at the surface itself.
Outside lighting
Getting from the car to the door on a wet January evening. A light that comes on by itself does more than most people expect.
Villages we cover around Braunton
Saunton, Croyde, Georgeham, Knowle, Wrafton, Heanton Punchardon and the lanes towards Velator and the Burrows.
Getting to you
Braunton is a short run from Barnstaple, so we can usually be flexible on timing. In the summer we plan around the traffic through the village rather than keeping you waiting.
