Changing Places: Helping people when they’re not at home.
We partner with architects and other professionals to help them with design advice, planning, installation and maintenance of both Changing Places Toilets (CPTs) in public spaces and in Hygiene Rooms within schools.
What is a Changing Places?
A Changing Places Toilet is designed specifically for people who cannot use a standard accessible toilet. It provides more space (minimum of 12m²) in order to accommodate extra mobility or medical equipment and up to two carers, to provide assistance when necessary.
A Changing Places typically includes the following equipment:
- Overhead room coverage hoist system
- Height-adjustable changing bench
- Peninsular toilet
- Height-adjustable sink
- Privacy screen

1
Complete, end-to-end project management
We are experienced in working with architects and building/facilities staff at every stage of the process. We can manage the project from start to finish, ensuring everything runs smoothly and removing any potential issues which can lead to overruns and hassle.

Plan and advise
We can work with existing plans and specifications, providing advice and guidance as required, or we can advise and make recommendations ourselves.

Survey and recommend
We always insist on carrying out a free of charge site survey to absolutely ensure that everything is correct and to identify any potential areas of concern to avoid problems arising later in the process. We will also recommend the best combination of equipment.

Supply and install
We can supply the equipment and oversee its installation to ensure everything adheres to the plan, and is fully compliant with all relevant Standards and Building regulations. We also provide ‘how to use’ and ‘safe working load’ signage.
5
Aftercare
Once everything is installed and ready to use, we can provide support and training to staff to ensure they are confident in the operation of the equipment, and are then able to provide support to those in their care. We can also provide on-going servicing and maintenance of the equipment to ensure it continues to support people for years to come.
