Reducing choking hazards

Loose curtain cords and electrical wires around the property can increase the risk of accidents. This can be avoided by adopting a different type of curtain to completely remove the need for cords, organising and covering the cables, or tucking them away.

Covering sharp corners

By crouching down to the same level as a young child, you are able to identify potential hazards that may hurt the child. By using corner guards and bumpers in low and high areas, these can be low-cost additions for that extra protection.

Using socket covers

Knowing children cannot access electricity is an important factor in reducing incidents within a home. Sockets can sometimes be forgotten about as they are low-down and often within reach of children. Placing socket covers in the sockets will ensure they cannot be played with.

Reducing cords and wires

Loose curtain cords and electrical wires around the property can increase the risk of accidents. This can be avoided by adopting a different type of curtain to completely remove the need for cords, organising and covering the cables, or tucking them away.

Child locks

Using child locks is a great way to separate children from danger. They prevent children from gaining access to dangerous substances such as cleaning products and medications. These can also be put in place on windows and doors, reducing the chances of children getting hurt.

Anchoring down furniture

Ensuring you have secured any heavy furniture on the property is vital. Children become adventurous at a young age, which can lead to them exploring within the property, resulting in serious mishaps. This can be solved by using safety straps or brackets to secure furniture in place.

Overall, having these precautions in place is important when producing a safe environment within a property. Being considered exceptionally safe for family tenants might be a wonderful differentiator for your rental property if you're a landlord, as it could attract potential tenants.

What Our Customers Say...

I have recently purchased a property through Richard Kendall Estate Agent. The service was excellent from Emily Dunbar. She chased solicitors for me and constantly kept me updated with the progress. Emily is a credit to Richard Kendall's. Thanks Emily for everything. Adele 10/12/2025
Donna and Joanne were superb at helping and supporting me through quite a difficult sale. Communication and follow up was excellent and everything was dealt with in a friendly and professional manner I would certainly recommend Richard Kendall to all my friends and family. Jill 10/12/2025
We have used Richard Kendall for many years so when deciding to sell our loved property due to heath issues this was the company we straight away contacted initially David at the Wakefield Office and then we were luckily put with senior consultant Karen Marijewko. Karen was so thoughtful and kind she knew about our health problems and went out of her way to guide us through the process of selling and buying .She is a senior property consultant and really deserves that title . If we ever have to move again I would definitely ask for Karen and would advise family and friends to do the same. Judith 10/12/2025
I had a great experience with Elizabeth Cooke from Richard Kendall for the sale of my property. She kept me informed throughout the entire process and was always proactive in chasing things up and staying in regular contact. Her communication was clear, consistent, and always reassuring, which made everything feel easier and less stressful. Liz’s professionalism, friendliness, and dedication was outstanding. I’m so grateful for all her hard work in getting my property sold. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, professional, reliable and supportive estate agent Liz 10/12/2025
Really pleased with all the staff, especially Leah, they kept me up to date throughout the whole process of buying our house, it was easy to get hold of them and on the rare occasion I couldn’t they responded back very quickly cracking estate agents. Graham 10/12/2025
We recently sold a relative's home through Richard Kendall and the service was excellent. The team and in particular our main contact Mandy at the Ossett office kept us informed and updated throughout, explaining where we were at every stage of the process. A professional yet personal service and we would recommend Richard Kendall to anyone thinking of buying or selling a home. Nigel 10/12/2025
Would highly recommend Richard Kendall, this was the second time I’ve used them for selling a house. Amber in the Pontefract office dealt with my sale and she was really helpful, friendly, professional and kept me up-to-date with everything going on with the sale and the wider chain. Thank you! Chris 10/12/2025
Amazing service from Catherine and Shireen at the Wakefield City Branch. They have made the process of moving house so smooth and always kept us up to date with any progress. Can't recommend them enough! Gemma 10/12/2025
We were selling my mum and dad’s house and was an emotional time for me and my sister. Sarah at the Normanton branch dealt with the sale from start to finish. I cannot recommend Sarah enough and she is a credit to Richard Kendall. She kept us informed all the way through and answered any questions we had. She was professional and friendly and made what was a sad time selling the family home easier. The sale was quick and seamless due to Sarah. Thank you Richard Kendall’s, I would recommend them to anyone selling their property Claire 10/12/2025
