Accessibility Adaptations
We create tailored accessibility solutions that restore independence for individuals with mobility challenges. Our adaptations include doorway widening, hoist installations, and customised access systems, all designed in collaboration with occupational therapists. With over 45 years' experience working with local authorities, we ensure compliance with safety standards while maintaining aesthetic appeal and practical functionality in domestic environments.
Wet Rooms
Our wet room installations transform bathing experiences through barrier-free designs that prioritise safety and independence. We incorporate non-slip flooring, specialist fittings, and waterproofing systems to create accessible spaces for wheelchair users and those with mobility limitations. Each project includes associated works like electrical upgrades and tiling, completed by our multi-skilled team to ensure seamless integration with existing home infrastructure.
Aico Smart Link Installations
As approved contractors, we install Aico Smart Link systems that monitor environmental conditions in residential properties. These systems combine fire and carbon monoxide detection with sensors measuring temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels. The gateway technology enables predictive maintenance by identifying potential damp and mould risks, making them ideal for social housing providers seeking proactive health and safety solutions.
Ramps and Access Solutions
We design and construct bespoke ramp systems using materials ranging from timber to stone, tailored to individual mobility needs. Our solutions include temporary access structures with safety matting and permanent installations integrated with handrails. The team considers both functional requirements and visual harmony with property architecture, ensuring safe, unobtrusive access for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility.
Plumbing and Heating
Our Gas Safe registered engineers provide comprehensive plumbing and heating solutions for domestic properties. Services include boiler installations, bathroom refits, and pipework systems, all backed by a full year guarantee.
