Gadget Guide
The Gadget Guide provides clear information on how to use essential domestic systems, from central heating to intruder alarms and smoke detectors. It can be readily customised to cover the systems used in your housing stock.
Central heating, door entry systems and smoke alarms are vital tools for your residents – and they need to understand how to use them properly. Our Gadget Guide is a ready-made way for you to give them the information they need.
Featuring our characteristically clear instructions and accurate diagrams, the Gadget Guide provides your residents with step-by-step instructions on how to operate these core features and fittings. It also provides useful tips on the efficient use of heating systems, electrical safety and the use of added features such as stairlifts.
The Gadget Guide – a handy A5 size publication - is compiled specifically for each organisation, selecting from a broad range of pre-written content that covers the majority of domestic heating and safety systems in use in social housing.
- We send you a questionnaire to gather details of the ‘gadgets’ and systems your properties use
- We pick the relevant material and send you a first draft, with a selection of front cover designs to choose from
- You review and request any changes
- We produce a final version for you to approve, then manage print and distribution on your behalf
