Professional lever tap fitting for Devon elderly residents - replace standard taps with lever handles for easier water control using wrist motion.
Turn Taps Without Gripping

💡 Pro tip: Start with kitchen sink - used most often. If that helps, consider bathroom taps next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why lever taps?
Lever taps work with an up/down or side motion. Use wrist or forearm rather than grip and twist. Much easier with arthritis or weak hands.
Can you fit any tap?
Most standard taps can be replaced with lever versions. We check compatibility with your plumbing and ensure proper fitting.
What about mixer taps?
Lever mixer taps are available too. Single lever controls temperature and flow. Very easy to operate with one hand.
Do you supply the taps?
We can supply or fit taps you've bought. We advise on suitable models and ensure they're compatible with your setup.
