Dynamics Cleaners gave up 2 days of normal work to come together to provide cleaning services and help Isla have a home that she could use, get around and be safe in.
“DIY SOS has completed a project in Aylestone, Leicester, transforming the home of eight-year-old Isla Kilpatrick Screaton in February 2025. Isla was born with Mandibuloacral Dysplasia, a condition that makes her bones brittle and causes premature aging. The project involved extensive renovations to improve her mobility and independence, with over 160 volunteers contributing their skills and supplies to the build”.
Mum Stacey says Isla struggles with her mobility, general independence around the house and has difficulty reaching door handles and light switches.
But now all that is to change after the BBC home renovation programme DIY SOS arrived to “move islands for Isla” – equipping the property with everything she needs to make her life more comfortable.The DIY SOS team said it received more than 1,000 volunteer applications to help renovate Isla’s semi-detached home – a near record-breaking figure for the show.
On Wednesday, the team descended on Isla’s home with 160 volunteers to start the project.
Speaking to BBC Radio Leicester, her mother Stacey said: “It already has changed our lives. I have that peace of mind knowing Isla’s needs will be met when we go back into that house.”
With their living conditions posing many challenges for the family, Stacey said she had wanted to make changes to the house since Isla was a baby.
“The only bathroom is upstairs, which can be hard to reach if she’s tired, and she struggles to reach door handles and light switches,” said Stacey.The family has asked the DIY SOS team for a downstairs bathroom, lower light switches, lower door handles and extra handrails up the stairs, so Isla can be more independent.
Stacey said she would not have the money or knowledge to do the work herself, “so these guys are amazing to complete it all in eight days”.
“When we found out it was happening, we all cried with joy,” said Stacey.
“A couple of weeks later, the news was posted on social media, and it just blew up.
“The amount of support that was shown to us was so overwhelming, but so beautiful as well.
“With her condition, she is the only person in the world with this mutation, and I think people just see Isla for how special she is and her massive character,” said Stacey.In a message to the DIY SOS team, Stacey said: “Thank you will never be enough for everything everyone is offering and doing for us.
“Just know that this is changing our lives, and we are beyond appreciative of it.”
This is Dynamics Cleaners third project that they have been involved in with the other two project in Scunthorpe and Kettering again providing cleaning services to both the home after building works but in Kettering the team also supported the cleaning to the toilets area and office whilst the covid pandemic was still there.
Managing Director – Tim Wade :- It truly is a special moment when you register to give your support to a worth while cause. the three projects have been the most amazing things we as a company has ever done, but this project in Leicester is the most special of all. Helping children to flourish is something that you dream your children will be able to do as they grown up, so to be able to support Isla in this way is very special. The team took time out of their busy schedule to be able to do this, they deserve all the credit.
