As we get older, simple things like reaching a light switch or plugging in the kettle can become more of a challenge. At MP Electrical, we believe that every home should feel safe, comfortable, and easy to manage—especially for elderly residents.
That’s why we specialise in easy-to-use electrical solutions designed to make everyday life simpler for elderly homeowners across Rotherham, Wickersley, Maltby, Thurcroft, and beyond.
Whether it’s improving lighting, installing safer sockets, or just making things more accessible, we’re here to help.
👵 Why Electrical Simplicity Matters
As mobility, sight, or memory starts to decline, even the most familiar home can become tricky to navigate.
⚠ Hard-to-reach switches
⚠ Loose plug sockets or trip hazards
⚠ Poor lighting in hallways or bathrooms
⚠ Old consumer units with confusing fuses
These may seem small—but over time, they become safety risks and daily frustrations. That’s where MP Electrical steps in.
✅ MP Electricals' Simple Solutions That Make a Big Difference
Here are just a few of the most popular upgrades we install for elderly customers across South Yorkshire:
Lights that turn on automatically when someone enters a room or hallway—great for bathrooms, stairs, and night-time trips to the loo.
🔹 Prevents falls
🔹 No switches to fumble with
🔹 Energy-efficient
🛏 2. Bedside Switches & Pull Cords
We can relocate light switches to the bedside or install easy pull-cord systems, so elderly residents don’t have to get out of bed to switch off the light.
🔌 3. Raised & Easy-to-Reach Sockets
No more bending down! We install sockets at a comfortable height so plugging things in (like kettles or heaters) is effortless.
We also recommend USB sockets for easy mobile charging—no bulky adapters needed.
👂 4. Audible or Visual Doorbells
Hard of hearing? We can fit doorbells that flash a light or play a louder chime, so no visitor goes unnoticed.
🌧 5. External Lighting with PIR Sensors
Automatic outdoor lighting makes it safer to:
🔹 Take the bins out
🔹 Collect deliveries
🔹 Welcome visitors at night
These lights switch on automatically when someone approaches—hands-free and hassle-free.
🧯 6. Smoke Alarms & Carbon Monoxide Detectors with Alerts
We install linked alarms that alert throughout the home—great for homes with hearing or mobility concerns.
⚡ 7. Upgraded Consumer Units (Fused Boards)
Many older homes still have outdated fuse boxes. We can upgrade these to modern RCD-protected units, making the home:
✅ Safer
✅ Easier to reset
✅ Compliant with current UK regulations
