Most homes never seem to have enough sockets in the right places. Whether you want extra double sockets in a living room, USB-C charging points in a bedroom, a dedicated socket for a home office or a weatherproof outdoor socket, we'll install them neatly and safely.
We also replace cracked, scorched, loose or old-fashioned sockets and switches, and can upgrade to modern finishes such as brushed steel, black nickel or screwless plates. Every addition is tested to make sure the circuit can safely take the extra load.

Good to know
Extension leads are not a long-term fix
Daisy-chained extension leads and overloaded adaptors are a common cause of electrical fires. If you're relying on them, it's usually worth adding properly installed sockets.
How much does it cost to add or replace a socket?
Every job is different, so we price it once we understand what's needed. The main factors are:
- Number and type of sockets or switches
- Whether the existing circuit can take the extra load
- Cable route — under floor, in the wall or surface trunking
- Finish of the accessories you choose
We explain charges before we attend and agree the price of any work with you before it starts. Sending photos in advance helps us quote more accurately.
Socket & Switch Installation: FAQs
Can you add sockets without damaging my decoration?
We'll always look for the least disruptive cable route — under floors, through voids or in surface trunking where appropriate — and discuss the options before starting.
Are USB sockets safe?
Quality USB sockets from reputable manufacturers are safe when correctly installed. We avoid cheap unbranded products.
