Frequently Asked Questions
Why extend a pull cord?
Standard bathroom cords hang high. If you've got reduced mobility or height, they're hard to reach. Extension brings the cord down to a comfortable level.
Does it look okay?
Yes - we use proper extension cord that matches the original. Looks intentional, not like a bodge job. Neat and tidy.
Can any cord be extended?
Most bathroom and toilet light cords, yes. We check the fitting first and add extension cord that works with your existing switch.
How long do you make it?
Whatever height works for you. We'll get you to try it before we cut and tie off. Right height for your reach.
