Case Studies

This case study outlines our tailored solution for a customers’ unique accessibility needs within a shared residential estate. Through careful design and implementation, we installed a 4.8m ramp with turn platforms, maintaining garden aesthetics and complying with regulations. The addition of gate and step units further improved access while minimising disruption to other residents.

This case study focuses on improving accessibility for a customer in the Leeds area, who has specific mobility challenges. The customer owns a small scooter and a wheelchair, but his property’s steep driveway has been posing difficulties. The objective of this project is to provide a feasible solution to enhance accessibility and improve his daily living.

The customer wanted to build a new extension to the side and rear of their property. Planning permission required a ramp that provided access to the rear door of the extension without blocking the side gate for the right-hand neighbour and without extending past the boundary wall of the covered driveway, ensuring clear access for the neighbour on the left.

Due to unexpected and significant health issues, the client required greater assistance to safely access their property, with the existing thresholds and stepped access proving difficult to negotiate. As a result of this, Easirail handrails and Excellent Systems proved the best solution to create safe, easy to use access.

The customer found the varied levels difficult to navigate and leave the property. Easiaccess raised the internal recess/porch area, had new automated doors installed and provided modular ramp to the front of the property creating easy access for both the client and visitors. 

The client needed safe access into the rear of the property, that was also suitable for their young children. An child-friendly Easitread platform and step unit with highlighted steps provided the perfect solution.

Providing a wheelchair ramp for a customer to improve access to the property as double stone steps were proving difficult to negotiate.

The customer had to negotiate stepped access to their property and a gradient of the existing footpath that proved difficult to manage. We were asked to survey the property to see whether access could be improved.

Easirail was used to provide a handrail on both sides of the steps, with the walkway levelled and widened with a new retaining wall. Black was chosen to match in with the exiting garden gate which was retained.

Stepped access to the higher levels of the customers garden were increasingly difficult to navigate. We were called out to see whether we could help.

The clients existing access involved 5 steps into the property, and stepped access out of the garden into the path, all of which had high risers providing difficult to negotiate.

The client needed better access to the front of their property, with the existing stepped access proving difficult to negotiate and the rear of the property also difficult to access.
