Accessibility Statement for Battersea Removals

Battersea Removals is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive experience for all customers in the Battersea area and beyond. We aim to ensure that everyone can access information about our removals and storage services, plan moves, and communicate with our team without barriers. This accessibility statement explains the steps we take to support users with different access needs and how you can contact us about accessibility.

Our Commitment to Web Accessibility

Our goal is for the Battersea Removals website to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, at the AA level. These guidelines describe how to make web content more usable and accessible for people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities. We treat accessibility as an ongoing process and work to identify and address issues as technology and standards evolve.

Screen Reader Support

The Battersea Removals website is designed to be compatible with modern screen readers to assist customers who are blind or have low vision. Pages use clear headings and descriptive text to help users navigate between sections about our Battersea removals services, quotations, and local moving information. We aim to use meaningful alternative text for key images where they provide important information, and to avoid using images of text wherever possible.

Keyboard Navigation

We understand that some users navigate our website using only a keyboard or alternative input devices. Our pages are built to support keyboard navigation so you can move through menus, forms, and content without needing a mouse. Focus states are designed to be visible, helping you see which element is selected as you move through the site. Where forms are used to request quotations or discuss local Battersea removals options, we aim to ensure that all fields can be accessed and submitted using the keyboard.

Supported Browsers and Devices

We aim to provide a consistent experience across a range of modern browsers and devices, including desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Content is designed to reflow so that you can zoom in to increase text size without losing information or functionality. We also aim to avoid layouts that require horizontal scrolling on smaller screens.

Ongoing Improvements for Accessibility

Accessibility is not a one-time project. Battersea Removals regularly reviews content, structure, and design to improve ease of use. As our Battersea removals services expand and our website grows, we assess new pages and features with accessibility in mind. Where we identify issues that might make it harder for disabled users to get information about our services, we work to fix them as quickly as we reasonably can.

Known Limitations

Despite our efforts to make all pages and content fully accessible, some legacy content or third party features may not yet meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. We are working to update or replace any content that falls short and to provide accessible alternatives where full remediation is not immediately possible.

Requesting Assistance and Accessibility Feedback

If you experience any difficulty using the Battersea Removals website, or if you need information about our Battersea removals and storage services in a different format such as large print or plain text, you can contact us using the contact form on our website or by writing to our registered office address. Please describe the page or service you were trying to use and the problem you encountered. This helps us investigate and improve accessibility for everyone.

Response to Accessibility Requests

We take all accessibility requests seriously. When you contact us with a concern, we will review your feedback, consider any reasonable adjustments we can make, and respond as soon as we can. For time sensitive moving arrangements in the Battersea area, please tell us your preferred way for us to reach you so that we can work with you to find the most accessible way to discuss and arrange your move.

Continuous Review

Battersea Removals will continue to monitor accessibility standards and good practice, and to apply these to our website and customer communications. Our aim is to make planning and managing a move in and around Battersea as simple and accessible as possible for every customer.
