Childproofing
Peace of mind for parents. We install all childproofing equipment securely so you can relax knowing your home is safe.
96 services available across Exeter and surrounding areas.

When you've got a curious toddler discovering the world, every corner becomes a potential hazard. Stair gates need to be rock solid, cupboard locks actually need to work, and those corner protectors need to stay put. DIY childproofing often fails at the worst moments - gates that swing open, locks that pop off, protectors that become choking hazards. Professional installation means everything is fitted securely, at the right height, and tested to make sure it actually works.
Why Choose Hembury Contracting?
As a dad himself, Sam understands the urgency. He'll assess your home for hazards you might have missed and fit everything properly the first time. Most childproofing jobs take just an hour or two.
What We Offer
- Pressure-fit and wall-mounted stair gates
- Cupboard and drawer locks for kitchens and bathrooms
- Corner and edge protectors that stay put
- Socket covers and cord management
- Window restrictors and door finger guards

Common Questions About Childproofing
Will mounting damage the wall?
Small screw holes that can be filled later. Much safer than a monitor balanced on furniture that could fall into the cot.
Where should I anchor it?
High on the back, into wall studs or solid masonry. The anchor needs to stop the unit before it tips past its balance point.
What if parts are missing?
We'll identify missing parts immediately and advise on getting replacements from the manufacturer. We won't bodge a cot with wrong parts.
What if something's seriously wrong?
We'll tell you honestly. Some issues are fixable on the spot, others need parts. If it's unsafe, we'll advise whether repair or replacement makes sense.
Why does a nursery need a dimmer?
Bright light wakes babies up fully. A dimmer lets you see what you're doing for nappy changes and feeds without turning on the full light - baby stays drowsy and goes back to sleep faster.
What about cable management?
If the desk has cable management features (holes, trays), we set those up too. Tidy cables make for a better workspace.
