essential aids

Essential Aids is a long-established UK online retailer of daily living aids and disability equipment. Trading since 2004, it supplies a very broad range of aids to help with everyday tasks by mail order across the UK, serving private customers as well as the NHS, schools, local authorities and charities, with a focus on choice, value and helpful advice rather than a high-street showroom.

The product range is wide. It covers mobility aids, bathroom and toileting aids, wheelchairs and mobility scooters, walking sticks and frames, bedroom, kitchen and dressing aids, moving and handling aids, incontinence products and orthopaedic aids. As a multi-brand retailer it can match a product to a particular need and budget, which is useful when looking for a specific everyday aid.

Service is built around accessible online buying. Essential Aids offers free UK delivery on orders over a set value, VAT relief for eligible customers, interest-free finance options, equipment rentals, and purchase orders for the NHS, schools, councils and charities. It is a member of the British Healthcare Trades Association with Trading Standards approval, and donates a share of sales to the Stroke Association, which adds reassurance.

Essential Aids serves customers across the UK online, supplying both the public and professional buyers. For people who want a trusted, well-stocked source of daily living and disability aids with free delivery, VAT relief and BHTA membership, the company offers a focused, well-supported service. The team can advise on the right mobility, bathroom or daily living aid for a person’s needs.
