At Asletts Ltd, we believe that construction isn’t just about building and refurbishing – it’s about making a genuine difference in people’s lives. Our recent project for a housing association in East Sussex perfectly reflects this commitment to social value in construction and community wellbeing.
Project Overview
We were commissioned to carry out essential improvement works on a housing association property after it was identified that the existing flooring posed a serious safety risk for a disabled resident. The worn floor surface had become uneven and slippery, increasing the likelihood of falls and making daily movement difficult.
As experienced builders in East Sussex and approved Altro flooring installers, our team took immediate action to provide a safe, durable, and accessible flooring solution that would enhance comfort and confidence for the resident.
Scope of Works
Our specialist team carried out a full flooring replacement and safety upgrade, including:
• Assessment: Identified that the existing hardboard subfloor and overlay were unsafe and contributed to slip hazards.
• Removal: Carefully removed all worn materials and prepared the surface for new installation.
• Installation: Supplied and fitted a non-slip Altro safety flooring system, designed to provide exceptional grip and durability in residential environments.
• Finishing: Delivered a smooth, secure, and fully compliant finish suitable for accessible housing and mobility needs.
Outcome
The new floor now provides a safe, slip-resistant, and low-maintenance surface, significantly reducing the risk of falls and improving quality of life for the resident. This small but impactful project demonstrates how Asletts’ building and maintenance services contribute directly to community wellbeing – ensuring that homes are not just functional, but safe and inclusive for everyone.
Social Impact
By going beyond standard building works, Asletts continues to prioritise social value, accessibility, and safety across our projects in East Sussex and the South East. Whether working on large-scale commercial refurbishments or community housing improvements, our focus remains the same – delivering quality craftsmanship that enhances lives and supports local people.
Resident Feedback
“I feel so much safer in my home now. The new floor is perfect — I can move around without worrying about slipping. I’m so grateful for the care and attention Asletts put into making my home safer.”
