What to think about for home automatic door openers in the East Riding of Yorkshire
- Rented homes and housing association properties in the East Riding of Yorkshire usually need the landlord's permission before an opener is fitted. The landlord may also arrange or pay for the work.
- Ask whether an occupational therapist assessment is needed. If you plan to apply for a grant through your council (or the Housing Executive in Northern Ireland), it usually is, and it helps choose the right doors and controls.
- Check the threshold as well as the door. A raised sill or step can still stop a wheelchair once the door is open, and a ramp or low threshold may be worth doing at the same time.
- Terraced houses and flats in the East Riding of Yorkshire often have narrow hallways. The survey checks where the door swings, so it does not catch a wheelchair, a radiator or someone standing behind it.
- If the door faces the weather, as many exposed front doors in the East Riding of Yorkshire do, the opener has to cope with wind. The survey looks at how sheltered the door is and sets the opener to suit.

Prices include VAT at 20%. If you are eligible for VAT relief as a disabled person, the installation work may be zero-rated under HMRC rules; we will tell you on the quote if we think it applies and ask you to sign an eligibility declaration. Your council (or, in Northern Ireland, the Housing Executive) can sometimes help with the cost through a grant, but it must be approved before work starts.
Grants, VAT relief and safety in England
In England, a Disabled Facilities Grant of up to £30,000 can help with adaptations that make a home easier to get in and out of. Grants are means-tested, follow an occupational therapist’s assessment and must be approved by the council before work starts, so ask your council whether a powered door opener could be included.
Some work and equipment for disabled people can qualify for VAT relief where HM Revenue and Customs’ conditions are met; we will tell you on the quote if we think it may apply.
A door opener at home should still let the door be opened by hand and lock securely. We set the opening speed and force for the people living there and show everyone how it works.
How it works

- Fitting and sign-off. Work goes ahead on dates agreed with you. Once fitted, the door is adjusted and its safety functions are tested and recorded with reference to BS EN 16005, and you are shown how to use it.

Can you work with our occupational therapist in the East Riding of Yorkshire?
Yes. If an occupational therapist has assessed the home, we can work from their report and talk to them about the doors and controls they recommend. If a grant is involved, we can provide the quote and product details the council or housing authority asks for.

If the work replaces an existing door, frame or operator, removal and disposal are listed in the quote.

Can a home in the East Riding of Yorkshire get help paying for a door opener?
Possibly. In England a Disabled Facilities Grant of up to £30,000 can fund adaptations that make it easier to get in and out of a home. It is means-tested and must be approved by the council before work starts, so ask your council and occupational therapist.
