First aid cabinet mounted securely to your wall at the right height. Level, solid, and accessible when needed. Simple job done properly.
Legal Requirement For Most Workplaces
If you employ people, you're legally required to have first aid provision - and that usually means a proper cabinet, not a carrier bag shoved in a drawer.
💡 HSE guidance: First aid equipment must be easily accessible and clearly signposted. A cabinet on the wall ticks both boxes.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **HSE requirements:** Workplaces need "adequate and appropriate" first aid equipment. What counts as adequate depends on your workplace size and risk level. Small low-risk office might only need one cabinet. **Green cross sign:** Most first aid cabinets need a sign above them (white cross on green background). Makes them easy to spot in emergencies. **Annual checks:** Someone in your workplace should check the cabinet monthly and restock as needed. Out of date plasters and used supplies don't help anyone.
Frequently Asked Questions about First aid cabinet fitting in Newton Abbot
What height should a first aid cabinet be mounted?
Usually about 1.5m from the floor - eye level for most people. Needs to be easily accessible but not where kids can get at it in some settings. I'll position it sensibly for your space.
Do you fix it to any wall type?
Plasterboard, brick, block, timber stud - all fine. I'll use the right fixings for whatever your wall is. Heavy cabinets on plasterboard need proper cavity fixings or finding the studs.
How long does fitting take?
About 15-20 minutes for a standard cabinet. Mark position, drill holes, fit wall plugs, screw cabinet to wall, check it's level and secure. Quick job.
Can you fit multiple cabinets?
Yes - offices and warehouses often need several. I'll do them all in one visit. First hour is £60, then £50/hr after, so multiple cabinets work out cheaper per unit.
