We will discuss your needs to find out the most suitable equipment for you. We will then arrange to install the equipment in your home and demonstrate how to use it. We provide a free aftercare service, so if you have difficulties using the equipment we will visit you to give you further help.

This service is a locally run service for Portsmouth people. The weekly charge is all people will ever pay, and there are no hidden extras. Because we are local we can provide a speedy service especially if you are having difficulty with the equipment or need repairs.
