Adding Or Moving Sockets And Switches
Extra sockets and switch work helps make rooms more practical without relying on extension leads. The existing circuit and likely cable route are checked first, because a neat-looking socket still needs to be safe behind the faceplate.
We can move a single socket, add power for a home office or replace damaged accessories. The existing circuit is checked before the right solution is fitted.
More Outlets Do Not Mean More Circuit Capacity
An extra socket provides a more convenient connection point, but it does not increase the electrical capacity of the existing circuit. Tell us about heaters, workshop equipment and kitchen appliances as well as chargers and computers. Depending on the circuit and intended load, a different arrangement or a new circuit may be needed instead of simply adding another outlet.
Replacing A Damaged Socket Or Changing Its Style
Cracking, looseness, scorch marks or heat should be treated as a fault, not just a cosmetic replacement. The wiring and connections behind the accessory need checking by the electrician. For decorative or USB outlets, back-box depth and the manufacturer instructions also matter. Stop using a hot or damaged outlet and do not remove its cover to take a photograph.
Checks And Work
Involved
The exact scope depends on the existing wiring, access and what testing finds. These are the parts we usually discuss.
Additional Sockets
New sockets can be added where the circuit, route and load are suitable.
Socket Moves
Sockets can often be moved during decorating, kitchen work or room changes.
Damaged Accessories
Cracked, loose or warm sockets and switches should be replaced and checked behind the faceplate.
What Affects The Cost Of Extra Sockets?
Send the number of outlets, proposed positions and what you plan to plug in. Socket style, wall construction, cable access and any circuit repairs affect the work. Photos of the room and closed consumer unit help with planning. We discuss surface trunking or concealed routes and who will handle plastering or decoration.
