Frequently Asked Questions about Socket covers in Sidmouth
Are socket covers actually necessary?
UK sockets have built-in shutters that require equal pressure on both pins to open. Some experts say covers aren't needed. But many parents prefer the visual deterrent and extra layer. Your choice.
What type of socket covers work best?
Simple plug-in covers work for most. Lockable covers for determined children. Box covers for outdoor sockets. We can advise on what suits your situation.
How many sockets should be covered?
At minimum, cover sockets at toddler height in rooms they access. Most parents cover all accessible sockets for consistency. We can do a full house in one visit.
Can you fit covers on extension leads too?
Yes - extension leads with unused sockets are often more accessible than wall sockets. Cover those too if they're within reach.
