Raised height toilets, often referred to as comfort height toilets, make it easier to sit down and stand up by slightly increasing the seat height. This reduces strain on the knees and joints and is particularly helpful for people with arthritis or limited mobility.
These toilets look similar to standard bathroom suites and can often be incorporated seamlessly into a modern accessible bathroom design.
Wash and dry toilets offer an advanced solution for maintaining hygiene and independence. With integrated washing and drying functions operated by a remote control or side panel, they allow users to manage personal hygiene comfortably without assistance.
These systems are especially beneficial for individuals with reduced dexterity or limited mobility, helping maintain dignity and independence at home. Watch the short video below to see how wash and dry toilet technology works in practice and learn more about our auto wash and dry toilet solutions.
Powered toilets are designed for users with significantly reduced lower-body strength. These specialist systems gently lift or tilt the user into a standing position, helping make transfers safer and easier.
They are often recommended for individuals with severe mobility limitations or progressive conditions.
Toilet lifters can be installed over an existing toilet and provide a lifting mechanism that assists users when standing up. They are often used as an intermediate solution for those who need additional support but may not yet require a full bathroom adaptation.
Creating a safe and accessible toilet space often involves more than simply replacing the toilet itself. Our specialists consider the entire layout to ensure comfort, safety and ease of use.
Grab Rails and Drop-Down Arms
Provide additional support and stability when transferring on and off the toilet.
Accessible Layouts
Sufficient space is essential, particularly for wheelchair users or those using mobility aids. Our team can advise on appropriate disabled toilet dimensions to ensure safe and comfortable movement.
Emergency Pull Cords
Offer reassurance by allowing help to be quickly summoned if needed.
Slip-Resistant Flooring
Often recommended alongside accessible bathroom adaptations to help reduce the risk of slips and falls.
