Childproofing & Stair Gate Fitting in Farnham

About this service

When it comes to your children's safety, "good enough" isn't good enough. A stair gate that isn't fixed properly, or a chest of drawers that isn't anchored to the wall, can give way just when a child pulls on it. I fit stair gates securely at the top and bottom of the stairs, add cupboard and drawer locks, and anchor tall furniture and TVs so they can't tip. I'll check every fitting before I leave, so you know it's done right.

Childproofing in Farnham homes: stair gate fitting, cupboard locks and furniture anchoring.

What's involved in childproofing and stair gate fitting

1. Walk round the house with you to spot the risks
2. Fit stair gates firmly at the top and bottom of the stairs
3. Fit cupboard and drawer locks
4. Anchor tall furniture and TVs so they can't tip

What can go wrong

• Most manufacturers say pressure-fitted gates shouldn't go at the top of the stairs, so they need screwing in properly
• Banisters and skirting often need special adaptors to fit a gate securely
• A chest of drawers that isn't anchored can tip when a child climbs it
