Stairlifts in Hertfordshire and London

Stairlifts can change the lives of people who no longer manage stairs with ease. We are currently working with a stair-lift company that operates mainly in the Hertfordshire and North London areas. They have years of experience supplying services and goods to customers who have physical disabilities and a desire for independence.

An elderly person who has spent their whole life in a Victorian cottage may be better off with friends and neighbours nearby than moving to purpose-built sheltered accommodation a mile away. Once a stair-lift is installed, that person may continue to be independent for many years.

Solutions vary as there is no one-size-fits-all-stairs stair-lift. Stairlifts can be installed for spiral stairs, winding stairs, 'dog-leg' and other shapes and sizes. There is also an all-weather stairlift suitable for outside stairs.

New Website for Client: Erasure, Destruction or Recovery of IT Data

Ta-Da! Announcing A New Website...

We have completed and launched a new website for our client, Ultratec Ltd., Letchworth, Hertfordshire, a company that specialises in data recovery and total destruction of data beyond all recovery!

IT Data Storage Device

Here at The BPc, we're hoping that Ultratec's clients won't need both these services in the destroy-first-recover-later sequence because that can't be done. To recover data from a faulty storage device or from a perfectly fine hard disk or tape that cannot be accessed is a fairly obvious requirement but who would want to ensure that data is totally destroyed? Well, to prevent sensitive information getting into the wrong hands, almost everybody.

Totally Destroyed Data Device

Information is stored on all sorts of devices, including photocopiers and printers as well as mobile phones, computers and USB sticks. Before these are discarded, there is a duty of care to protect sensitive data. This is a particular issue for government and military departments who may have top secret information stored. Not only will Ultratec ensure that data is erased but that the storage components are reduced to minute fragments, impossible to reconstruct.

If you need to comply with the Data Protection Act or help prevent identity theft, you need a secure data destruction service, visit www.ultratec.co.uk

Contemporary, Chic, Practical Bath/Shower options

At last, the practical aspects of easy access baths-with-showers has led to designs that we would actually want in our bathrooms. Until recently, the largest market for baths with doors was the very elderly plus disabled people who relied on such equipment and were forced to pay a premium. Whilst this is still true to some extent, there is a realisation by companies that clients demand and deserve better.

Often, there is a logistics issue with putting a traditional bath and a walk-in shower in a family bathroom therefore it is commonplace to find baths with shower enclosures. Getting in to the bath or shower is not too bad but getting out again, once there is a wet slippery surface to negotiate, is more difficult. Fully fit adults are cautious - what about those with sports injuries, back pain, a touch of arthritis, etc?

Statistics show that people prefer to walk out of a shower rather than climb out of a bath but many people want to keep a bath and don't have room for both, therefore the compromise is made to have a bath with shower. We've just been waiting for the ultimate practical bath-shower unit and, finally, we have a choice.
