Professional trip hazard removal for Devon homes - cables tidied, rugs secured, and walkways cleared to prevent falls and keep you safe.
Clear Paths Mean Fewer Falls
Trip hazards cause falls. Loose cables, slippery rugs, and clutter in walkways are accidents waiting to happen. Clear them properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a trip hazard?
Loose cables, unsecured rugs, clutter in walkways, uneven thresholds, items stored in paths. Anything you could catch your foot on.
Do I have to get rid of my rugs?
Not necessarily - we can secure them with proper gripper or double-sided tape. Some rugs may need removing if they can't be made safe.
What about my cables?
We route cables along walls, use cable covers, or fit trunking. Keep cables out of walkways without removing your devices.
Is this one-off or ongoing?
Usually one-off, but some customers have us check regularly. Clutter builds up and new hazards appear.
