Environmental Equipment Service

Hello.

The Environmental Equipment Service is based here at the Centre.

We receive funding for our service from Bristol City Council.

We provide a wide range of equipment ranging from Pager alarms, Minicoms and flashing light systems to clock alarms, vibrating pillow alarms, fire alarms and so on.

Our Environment Equipment Officers will visit you and asses your needs before installing. This whole process usually takes two weeks. Our Equipment Officers will also repair if necessary and will also give you any advice about the equipment if you are unsure about it – there is no charge for this service. However we do charge for some equipment like TV aids.

For more information please contact email the Centre via email - office@centrefordeaf.org.uk or visit us at the Centre between 10am and 2pm Monday to Friday. Thank you.
