Frequently Asked Questions
Why are extension leads dangerous?
Extension leads across floors catch feet and walking aids. They're one of the most common trip hazards in homes. Routing them safely prevents falls.
What do you do with them?
We route leads along walls, under furniture, or through cable covers. Sometimes we relocate where things are plugged in to eliminate the need for long leads.
Can you replace old leads?
Yes - if leads are worn, damaged, or longer than needed, we can suggest replacements. Shorter leads mean less trailing cable.
What about daisy-chained leads?
Extension leads plugged into other extension leads are a fire hazard. We check for this and recommend safer setups.
