Frequently Asked Questions
What's a socket riser?
A way to access a low socket without bending. Could be an extension that brings the socket higher, a plug-in tower, or in some cases relocating the socket entirely.
Is this electrical work?
Plug-in socket risers don't require electrical work - they plug into your existing socket. Relocating sockets does need an electrician.
What options are there?
Socket extension towers, plug-in riser blocks, or mounted extension leads at accessible height. We recommend the best option for your situation.
Can any socket be raised?
Most can. We assess the location and recommend the safest, most practical option for your needs.
