De-Adaptations

In the event that a Zone is let to residents without any adaptation needs, the Contractor is to remove all adaptations from the Zone, with the exception of:

•  Permanent ramps to external doors.

•  Raised sockets or lowered light switches.

•  Fitted lifts

•  Fitted Showers

Where adaptations are identified as re-useable, the Contractor will place them into appropriate storage, developing and subsequently maintaining an inventory of adaptations for future re-use.

The cost of de-adapting a Zone will be borne by the Contractor, except where the de-adaptation requires associated exceptional builders works e.g. the removal of a through floor lifts, specialised baths, etc.  In these instances, the same process will be followed as per adaptations above.
