Free home safety check
It’s important to make sure that your home is as safe as it can be. That means making sure you are not at risk from fire, that you have the basic facilities you need and that you don’t have to negotiate difficult obstacles or trip hazards.
Our home safety check involves someone visiting your home and
seeing if
there are any ways to make it safer for you. Examples of some of the
things we might do are shown below:
• security improvements including door
locks and window locks
• installing smoke alarms
• repairs to stiff doors
• making doors open the other way
• fixing stiff taps
• replacing light bulbs that are hard to
reach
• fitting grab rails/stair rails
• fitting outside hand rails
• securing loose carpets
• dealing with trailing wires
• extending your phone so that it is near
you.
We aim to perform a home safety check within two weeks and there is no
charge for this service. If repair or improvement work is needed, you
will be advised of the cost (depending on the nature of the work it may
be completely free). Any costs will be made clear before any work is
done and you are always free to say no to anything that we suggest
doing.
