Professional window restrictor fitting for Devon elderly residents - limiters installed so windows open enough for fresh air but not enough to be a fall risk.
Fresh Air Without The Risk
Windows need opening for ventilation. But open too far is dangerous. Restrictors limit the opening. Fresh air flows, but falling out is impossible.
💡 Pro tip: Fit restrictors on upstairs windows and any windows near beds or chairs. These are highest risk areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a window restrictor?
A fitting that limits how far a window can open - usually 100mm. Enough for fresh air, not enough for someone to fall through or for intruders to enter.
Why would an elderly person need one?
Confusion, balance issues, or family concerns. If there's any risk of someone leaning too far out or forgetting windows are open, restrictors add safety.
Can windows still open fully?
Yes - most restrictors have a key override. We give you the key. Day-to-day the restriction is on, but for cleaning or emergencies you can release it.
What windows can you fit them to?
Most types - casement, sash, tilt and turn. We check your windows and fit the right restrictor type for each.
