Accessible Granny Annexes: Comfort, Dignity

As our families grow and circumstances change, the need for comfortable, practical, and accessible living spaces becomes more important than ever. Whether it’s for elderly parents, family members with reduced mobility, or those planning for future needs, a granny annexe designed with accessibility features can offer freedom, safety, and peace of mind.

At TRJ Construction Ltd, we specialize in building bespoke SIP-panel granny annexes that combine modern design, energy efficiency, and full accessibility — all tailored to your exact requirements.

Why Accessibility Matters

an accessible annexe isn’t just about meeting regulations — it’s about ensuring comfort, safety, and independence for everyone who lives there. From a wheelchair-friendly layout to step-free entrances and easy-to-use fittings, thoughtful design can make everyday living effortless.

Accessibility Features We Can Include

Every TRJ annexe is fully customizable, allowing you to include features such as:

Step-free entrances and ramps – smooth transitions from outdoors to indoors

Wide doorways and hallways – easy wheelchair and walker access

Grab rails and hand supports – added stability and safety in key areas

Accessible bathrooms – walk-in showers, anti-slip flooring, and easy-reach fittings

Open-plan living areas – maximizing maneuverability and comfort

Smart home integration – lighting, heating, and security systems that can be controlled hands-free

The Benefits of an Accessible Granny Annexe
