Power and controls in sensible places
Circuit suitability checked
We check condition and load before extending an existing electrical circuit.
Fitting options explained
We discuss flush or surface mounting and any making good required.
Positions planned first
We account for furniture and appliances before cutting into a wall.
Stop stretching leads across the room
Room layouts change, but old socket positions have an impressive habit of staying exactly where they're least useful. Extra plug sockets can reduce reliance on trailing extensions and place power closer to appliances, desks and charging points. We can add, move or replace sockets and switches, subject to the suitability of the existing circuit. Before extending it, we consider its condition, protection and expected load. If that circuit isn't appropriate, new provision may be needed. The aim is a useful position backed by a sound electrical connection, not simply the quickest hole in the wall.
Choose accessories and fitting methods
Standard sockets, USB charging outlets, fused connection units, and dimmers each suit different uses. Matching finishes can help altered accessories sit neatly with the rest of the room. Wall construction influences whether cables and boxes can be fitted flush or whether surface-mounted equipment is more practical. Flush work may need chasing and later making good, while a surface route can reduce disturbance. We discuss furniture, doors and appliance positions first, then install and test the altered circuit so switches and outlets work where you actually need them.
Frequently asked questions
Can we add several sockets to one existing circuit?
That depends on the circuit type, condition, protection and expected load. We assess those points before extending it. If the existing arrangement isn't suitable, we explain what additional circuit work may be needed.
Will new sockets mean chasing the walls?
Flush-mounted accessories often require a recess and concealed cable route, which can mean chasing and making good. Surface-mounted fittings may reduce disruption. The wall type and preferred finish guide the choice.
Are sockets with USB ports worth fitting?
They can be useful where phones and small devices are charged regularly, provided the accessory suits your needs. We can also fit standard outlets where replaceable plug-in chargers give greater flexibility over time.
