Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Care & Repair Fife and the council scheme?▾
Care & Repair Fife is the council's partner agency for older and disabled homeowners. They help with paperwork and contractor liaison; the grant itself still comes from Fife Council.
How long does it take in Fife?▾
Total timeline is typically 10-16 weeks from first call to installation. OT waiting times vary by area within Fife.
Is a wet room funded?▾
Yes, where the OT recommends one. Wet rooms are common in older Fife housing where space is limited.
Can I add other improvements while you're on site?▾
Yes — we'll quote any extras separately so the council grant only covers the essential adaptation work.
Do you work across all of Fife?▾
Regularly across West and Mid Fife — Dunfermline, Rosyth, Cowdenbeath, Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes, Leven. Call for North Fife and East Neuk addresses.
