Professional socket height change for Devon elderly residents - electrical sockets moved to accessible height so no more bending to floor level.
Stop Bending To The Floor
Floor-level sockets are hard to reach. Bending down, kneeling, stretching. Move them higher. Accessible height means easy plugging in, no strain.
💡 Pro tip: Consider which sockets you use most. Move those first - by the TV, by your chair, in the kitchen. Biggest impact for least work.

Frequently Asked Questions about Socket height change in Crediton
Why move sockets higher?
Floor-level sockets mean bending right down. Bad for backs, knees, and balance. Moving them to waist height means easy access without strain.
Is this electrical work?
Yes - involves rewiring. We extend the cable and move the socket faceplate to the new height. Proper electrical job to regulations.
What about the old hole?
We blank off and fill the old socket position. Can be plastered flush or covered with a blank plate. Tidy finish.
How high do you move them?
Whatever works for you - typically 450-600mm off the floor. We check what height is comfortable before starting.
