Gartec helped Bright Green Homes to renovate a 4 storey Brighton property so it was both sustainable and wheelchair accessible.

The client wanted to adapt her new home for access, and improve its sustainability.

Bright Green Homes managed the project from start to finish – from re-designing the garden to removing structural walls, creating the void for the lift, installing new stairs, windows, electrics, two bathrooms, heating, a rainwater harvesting system, flooring, and fire alarm and smoke curtain system.

Gartec, who were specified by Bright Green Homes, provided their Artico 600 lift as it had all the features needed for accessibility and sustainability, including:

•Wheelchair suitable platform sizes
•No large machinery or pit space
•2 day installation to fit schedule
•Energy efficiency

Alex Hunt, the Project Manager from Bright Green Homes, commented:

“We enjoyed working with Gartec; once we had ironed out a few wrinkles we were able to have everything prepared for Gartec to fit the lift on time & on budget. Gartec have always worked hard to provide great service”

Gartec fitted the lift in two days around all the other renovation works going on.

The homeowner commented: Having the lift makes it possible for me to enjoy the character of a Victorian home, with square footage you wouldn’t find otherwise”
