Aids and minor adaptations
Coastline provides an aids and minor adaptations service to customers living in our rental homes to make your life easier. These simple alterations don’t involve lots of work or disruption to your home and can make a big difference. They can be fitted free of charge if you require them.
Simple aids
- Lever taps
- Grab handles
- Banister rails
Anybody who is disabled can request a simple aid, providing the cost is less than £500. We will arrange, pay for and complete the work within 60 working days (12 weeks) from the day you ask for the adaptation.
Minor adaptations
- Galvanised rails over external steps
- Optical smoke detectors for the hard of hearing
- Removal of internal thresholds and making safe
For minor adaptations, you’ll need to be recommended by an occupational therapist to make sure we fit equipment suitable for your needs. We’ll pay for the work, but they can take up to six months to complete, as we might need to get planning permission or wait for good weather. Once we’ve received the request, we’ll let you know how long it will take.
