Grant help is administered under Scotland's Scheme of Assistance. Eligibility, the level of any grant and the process vary by tenure and circumstances — confirm the current rules with the council.

How the Glasgow City Scheme of Assistance process works
1. OT referral
Self-refer through Glasgow City Social Work or via your GP. The OT visits and writes the specification.
2. Quote
We quote against the OT spec in the format Glasgow's grants team need.
3. Means test & approval
Standard Scottish means assessment. Approval typically 4-6 weeks after quote submission.
4. Install
On approval we book the work and confirm dates in writing.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover all of Glasgow?▾
We cover the east end and surrounding towns — Shettleston, Baillieston, Easterhouse, Tollcross, Rutherglen, Cambuslang. Call for west end and southside postcodes to confirm.
How long does the OT wait take in Glasgow?▾
Typically 8-12 weeks for a routine assessment, faster for urgent cases.
Are tenement bathrooms funded?▾
Yes — with the right tray and screen choice, level-access showers fit into tenement bathrooms cleanly. Glasgow Council fund these on the same basis as any other property.
Do you work with Glasgow Housing Association tenants?▾
Housing association tenants apply via their landlord's adaptation process, which is separate from the council scheme. We can usually still quote for the work.
What if I'm a Glasgow City Council tenant?▾
Council tenants apply through the council's housing repairs and adaptations route — different team, same OT-assessment principle.
