Frequently Asked Questions about Light switch height change in Teignmouth
Why change the height?
Standard switches are often too high for wheelchair users or too difficult to reach for those with mobility issues. Lower positioning makes access easier.
Is it complicated work?
Involves electrical work and usually some plastering to make good the old position. We ensure it's done safely and looks tidy.
What height should they be?
Building regs suggest 75-120cm from floor for accessibility. We position based on your specific needs and what's comfortable for you.
Can you do multiple switches?
Yes - we can reposition as many as needed. Often makes sense to do several at once for consistent access throughout.
