Accessible & Adapted Kitchens Designed for Independent Living
Everyone deserves a kitchen that works for them. At Preston & Co, we design and build fully accessible kitchens tailored for comfort, safety, and ease of use – all handcrafted in Wiltshire by our expert in-house team. Whether you’re adapting your space for a wheelchair user, reduced mobility, or future-proofing your home, we’re here to help you live more independently, without compromising on style.
Why Choose an Accessible Kitchen?
An adapted kitchen isn’t just about accessibility – it’s about empowering your everyday life. For individuals with mobility challenges, traditional kitchen layouts can create unnecessary barriers. That’s where we come in.
Our accessible kitchens are thoughtfully planned to make daily tasks safer and more convenient. From wheelchair users to older homeowners seeking to age in place, we create spaces where you can cook, reach, and move with confidence.
With Preston & Co, you don’t just get a functional layout – you get a beautifully designed kitchen, tailored to you.
Bespoke Design – Built In-House by Preston & Co
We are not affiliated with Symphony or their Freedom range — but we’re inspired by the same values. All of our accessible kitchens are custom-designed, manufactured, and installed by our own skilled team.
Because we build everything in-house, we can adjust measurements, materials, and layouts to your exact needs. No flat-pack compromises. No third-party suppliers. This gives you:
- Full flexibility in size and features
- Quality assurance from start to finish
- Local manufacturing with trusted fitters
- Seamless customer service from one team
You’ll work directly with our Wiltshire-based designers to ensure every detail suits your home and your lifestyle.
Key Accessibility Features We Offer
Every home is different – and so is every accessible kitchen we create. We’ll design your kitchen around how you live, not the other way around. Some of the most requested features include:
Rise-and-fall worktops and hobs
Height-adjustable to suit both seated and standing use, these innovative surfaces make food preparation effortless. Perfect for shared households, they provide independence and comfort for everyone using the kitchen.
Pull-out larders and corner units
Designed to bring everything within easy reach, these clever storage solutions eliminate the need to bend or stretch. Smooth-glide mechanisms ensure effortless access to every shelf and corner.
Wheelchair-accessible sinks and taps
Featuring shallow basins and side-mounted controls, these fittings are built for comfort and convenience. They allow seated users to reach and operate the sink safely and independently.
Rounded corners and anti-slip surfaces
Every edge and surface is designed with safety at its core. Rounded corners reduce impact risks, while anti-slip materials provide secure footing, even in busy or wet conditions.
Lever-handled units
Ergonomically designed handles make it easier to open doors and drawers with minimal effort. Ideal for users with reduced grip strength, they combine accessibility with a sleek, modern look.
Clear floor zones
Generous spacing between units ensures smooth wheelchair movement and turning space. This thoughtful layout promotes freedom of movement and keeps the kitchen open and easy to navigate.

Case Study: Accessible Kitchen in Marlborough
When Mr and Mrs S. in Marlborough needed a more accessible kitchen following a stroke diagnosis, they turned to Preston & Co. We replaced high wall units with pull-down shelving, widened pathways for wheelchair access, and installed a rise-and-fall sink for improved independence.
The result? A stylish kitchen that now works for both of them — without the need for care home support.
