About

Ability is a family run business based in Halifax with over 40 years’ experience in the construction industry, covering the North of England. Ability specialised in adapting bathrooms into accessible rooms for restricted mobility on behalf of councils under the DFG (Disabled Facility Grant). We also carry out many installations for customers privately who are not eligible for a grant or do not want to be on a long council waiting list. We can usually fit a Wetroom or bathroom within four weeks of your enquiry.

Due to the success of our Wetroom division, we started to get enquiries from families wanting to refurbish their existing bathroom. This prompted our Managing Director, Matthew Chippendale to partner with a well-known bathroom product supplier to offer individually designed family bathrooms. More recently, we added Ability build to our portfolio of services including single- and two-story extensions, door widenings, ramps, and full house renovations.
