Adapting Homes for Disability Access South Wales

Tuesday, March 1st, 2011

The world we live in contains a wealth of individuality; no two people are the same. Whether it is race, culture or ability, our uniqueness helps to make up the colourful society we live in. However, there are cases where specific needs require additional help in order to retain our individuality and independence. If you or someone you know is struggling to get around at home, call upon the services of RJ Environmental for professional, mindful disability access South Wales.

We understand how frustrating life can be when you feel dependent on others in your own home. Our job is to install solutions within your home so you can move around with ease.

We adapt properties to make them user friendly for the tenant who inhabits it. Our professional operatives take the time to listen to what you need as an individual and can provide the following:

  • Level access shower – this gives the tenant the independence and dignity that may be lost in the face of a standard bathroom.
  • Wheelchair access – If you are temporarily or permanently using a wheelchair to move around your home, we can modify your surroundings, enabling you to move freely through your home at your convenience.
  • Special needs adaptations – If you or someone you know is struggling to cope in their home, whether it be due to a physical, mental, or sensory disability we can install practical solutions that provide ease to the user.

We are committed to working in accordance to the guidelines set out by various caring professions. Our recent work at a community housing group meant we needed to follow the standards set by the RNIB; this is something we were able to do flawlessly, highlighting our ability and dedication to what we do.

For professional, considerate home adaptations for disability access South Wales, contact RJ Environmental today to start your journey to an independent and fulfilled lifestyle. Our experienced operatives treat every person as the individual they are, and will never make changes to your home without your confirmation. We are here to enhance dignity and independence through logical additions and adjustments.

Wheelchair Access Ramps Cardiff

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

Those who are less mobile or experience difficulty within movement will know the difficulties associated with attempting to function around the home only too well. As very few homes are equipped to cater for wheelchair access Cardiff, many are left caught between the dilemma of trying to cope with the unsuitable facilities which they do have available, or saving up large amounts of money to move to a property which has the necessary access. Life at home shouldn’t have to be a struggle, and in a bid to give people back the independence which they deserve, we at RJ Environmental Services are able to provide essential access methods to the people who need it the most.

In a recent project, we were asked to take care of a 26 bed housing court development, within which we installed a range of different essential disabled facilities. With everything from level access showers, to more specific special needs adaptations, we were able to make life easier and happier for many new residents. This experience has also enabled us to best suggest and develop solutions to various issues, which is fundamental when considering the convenience and ease of access for those who use a wheelchair.

So how can our business help you? Many who are desperate for enhanced facilities such as wheelchair ramps, may think their only option is to move to a different property which has such access available, but in fact, we are able to build such access for you. We will assess the area, and devise the best building solution based on your needs. We will then set to work building your wheelchair ramp, so that you can conveniently enter your own property, without having to struggle or rely on others for additional assistance.

Able to deliver wheelchair access throughout the household, you’ll no longer have to suffer at the hands of an unsuitably equipped home. As a convenient means to solve an inconvenient problem, we at RJ Environmental Services can offer wheelchair access Cardiff wherever you need it. For more information, why not fill in our online contact form for expert advice from one of our friendly team.

Types of Disability Showers in Aylesbury

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

Having a disability of any type shouldn’t mean that you automatically lose your independence – and this is something which has been recognised by the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), which requires shops, businesses, public transport and public places to have suitable and appropriate access for anyone who suffers from a disability. Although this helps to make things easier in terms of getting around, it can often be the everyday tasks in the home, such as showering, which cause the most problems. However, here at the Bath Mobility Store, we are trying to reverse the trend by providing a wide range of disability showers throughout the Aylesbury area.

Throughout the years, here at the Bath Mobility Store we’ve been providing a range of bathing and showering options suitable for those with disabilities. The range of disability showers that we currently stock and install include:

Surface Mounted and Level Access Shower Cubicles:

Similar to shower cubicles which are already installed into bathrooms up and down the country, our shower cubicles can either be surface mounted, with an integrated ramp leading up to them, or level access to make getting in and out easier.

Inside the cubicles, we can fit seats, grab rails and bars to make your showering experience more comfortable and easier to move.

Walk-In Showers:

As the name suggests, these showers provide easy access and are very similar to level access shower cubicles.  Along with the benefits of a level-access shower, walk-in showers come with anti-slip surfaces and tilting lips to prevent leaks; whilst also being suitable or any sized bathroom.

An added benefit of our walk-in showers is that they can safely take 39 stone, making them suitable for those who use a wheelchair. But before we fit any of our disability showers we will visit your home, to assess at the bathroom they are to be installed in. During our visit we’ll talk through the benefits of each range we offer. This means you can be certain that you’re getting the best shower for your needs.

Why You Need Your Evac Chair Serviced

Friday, October 8th, 2010

An evacuation chair is a crucial piece of equipment within any commercial environment. Whilst previously it was thought to be the responsibility of the fire service to remove wheelchair users from buildings in the case of an emergency, in actual fact the responsibility lies with the property manager. An evac chair can be used to remove individuals that use wheelchairs from a building quickly and easily, even if the only escape route is a flight of stairs. Like any equipment it is important that evac chairs are regularly serviced, to maintain their safety and reliability.

At K5 we specialise in the supply of evacuation chairs and disability access products to both commercial and domestic clients. In addition to the products that can be viewed on the website, we also offer maintenance and servicing to both those that have bought evacuation chairs through us and through other retailers.

It is a legal requirement for all evac chairs to undergo annual checks to ensure that they are safe for use in an emergency. We can arrange annual maintenance schemes and equipment checks for our services, making it even easier for businesses to comply with the necessary standards.

A member of our qualified team will visit the premises at a specified time and complete an on-site service. This means that businesses do not need to worry about making arrangements for a replacement chair, whilst theirs is being serviced. The check consists of a 25-point service and once complete the equipment will be stamped safe for use.

Information about our evac chair services and some of the products that we have available to purchase can be viewed on our website. Arranging a service really couldn’t be simpler, just fill out our online contact form to arrange for a member of our team to call you back.

Disabled Facilities Grant For Home Adaptation Cardiff

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

If a property is occupied by an individual with a disability, it is vital that it is tailored to their exact requirements to ensure that they can freely access every part of their home and live independently. This could mean that a landlord or homeowner would have to have wheelchair ramps installed, doors widened or bathrooms and kitchens adapted. As specialists in disabled facilities Cardiff, we at RJ Environmental Services Ltd appreciate that many individuals simply do not have the money available to fund these adaptations and that is why we accept grants from local authorities.

The disabled facilities grant has been designed to provide support to those with special needs and is used to adapt their property, so that individuals are able to live as independently as possible. The quantity of grant that is awarded depends entirely upon the individual’s incomings and outgoings, and is means tested.

Our team have many years experience of providing these disability adaptations, in individual homes and community housing projects. As approved local authority building contractors, we work closely with local housing organisations and are able to accept the grants as a method of payment.

In addition to our high standards of workmanship, we pride ourselves on our team’s ability to provide a professional service at all times. In recent years we have carried out works on tenanted properties, something that has required a patient and common sense approach, which we apply to every project that we are involved in.

Whatever your requirements, our friendly team would be more than happy to discuss them either via telephone or by calling the local telephone number on our website. We offer a range of building works for disabled facilities Cardiff and information about the services that we have to offer can be viewed by visiting our website and browsing the ‘building work’ pages.

Ramps and Disabled Facilities Cardiff

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

If you’ve ever broken your leg or suffered from a temporary injury that required the use of a wheelchair then you’ll understand the frustration that wheelchair users can experience every day of their lives. Just because there’s a lack of simple disabled access facilities such as ramps, wheelchair users are denied the privileges that are often taken for granted and should be afforded to all. Here at RJ Environmental Services (RJES) we can install disabled facilities Cardiff of many kinds so that those with a disability can get on with enjoying life.

It isn’t just people with a disability who can benefit from disabled facilities either; companies should invest in safe equipment too. Something as simple as a ramp allows an entirely new consumer to gain access to your product or service, which can of course boost profits. Plus under the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) the government outlined regulations regarding a business’s obligation to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ to a property to ensure that those with a disability can gain access. At RJES we can advise, supply and install the equipment necessary to make sure your premises is in keeping with these regulations.

We can help residential clients too by transforming their home from a frustrating series of obstacles into a useable environment. Solutions include things like level access showers, ramps, and special needs adaptations. Because we have extensive experience working with local housing associations, we understand the delicate and varied requirements of those living with special needs.

If you or someone in your care could benefit from logical alterations to their property then RJES can help carry out discreet and tactful work with minimal fuss. Our friendly team has experience working with people with all manner of needs and is committed to coming up with a cost effective solution in disabled facilities Cardiff each and every time.
