Whatwe do.

Accessible Bathrooms
Showers with no step, grab rails, and floors with grip, in a bathroom built around you.
Accessible Kitchens
Lower benches, pull-out storage, and appliances you can reach from a chair.
Grab Rails
Short, strong rails to hold beside the toilet, in the shower, and along the hallway.
Hand Rails
Rails you hold as you walk, for stairs, steps, ramps, and paths, made to fit.
Timber Handrails
Warm timber rails for stairs, landings, and hallways inside your home.
Banister Rails
Strong steel rails for front steps, ramps, paths, and decks.
Modular Grab Rails
Bathroom rails that join in sections, to fit corners and awkward spaces.
Ramps
Ramps for doorways, steps, and paths, made to fit the step at your door.
Rubber Ramps
A quick fix for a doorway lip or single step. Nothing to build, and often fitted the same day.
Platform Steps
Deep, even steps with a rail, or platforms big enough for a four-wheel walker.
Shower Solutions
Rails, a seat, a hand shower, and a lower entry, to make your shower safe without a rebuild.
Shower Base Inserts
A raised base that takes away the step into the shower. Nothing drilled, and it lifts out.
Hand Showers
A shower head on a hose that comes down to you, so you can shower sitting down.
Shower Seats
A seat on the shower wall that folds down when you need it.
Shower Curtains & Tracks
A curtain instead of a glass door, so the shower opens wide for a chair or carer.
Other Bathroom Parts
Hooks, holders, brackets, and baskets placed where you can reach them.
Tapware & Hot Water
Taps you can turn with a closed hand, and hot water that can’t burn you.
Lever Taps
Lever handles you push instead of twist, for basins, sinks, and laundries.
Tempering Valves & Mixers
A valve that stops your hot water getting hot enough to burn. Fitted by licensed plumbers.
Garden Taps & Hose Reels
An easy-turn garden tap, and a hose reel that keeps the path clear.
Door Solutions
Small changes to your doors, so they stop getting in the way.
Door Threshold Inserts
Fills the lip at a doorway, so wheels and feet cross smoothly.
ROSS Hinges
ROSS hinges, so a bathroom door can be opened from outside if you fall.
Door Magnets
Holds a door open, so both your hands are free.
Adjustable Door Pull Strap
A strap to pull a door closed behind you, from a wheelchair.
Door Reversal
Makes a door swing the other way, to give you more room.
Aluminium Cover Strips
A smooth strip where two floors meet at a doorway.
Non-slip Flooring & Surface Safety
Grip for the floor you already have, without replacing a tile.
Non-slip Floor Treatments
A clear coating that grips when wet and looks the same when dry.
Non-slip Tape & Paint

Stair Nosings & Strips

Chair Raisers

Wider doorways and sliding doors, for when a wheelchair won’t fit through.

Assistive Technology
Simple devices that make daily tasks safer: stove timers, bidets, key safes, and alerts.
Stove Timers
A timer that turns the stove off by itself, and a key switch for the gas.
Bidets
Your bidet fitted with the power, plumbing, and safety valve it needs.
Key Safes
A locked box for a spare key, so carers can let themselves in.
Home Alerting Systems
Flashing lights and bed shakers, so you notice the smoke alarm and doorbell.
Decking
Decks level with your door, in merbau or composite, with ramps and rails.
Floor Coverings
Tiles, vinyl, timber, and carpet, chosen to be safe underfoot.
Drafting & Design Support
