Socket Installation

Why Install New Sockers?

Many UK homes were built long before today’s demands, fewer sockets, rooms not designed for multiple appliances, or outdated wiring that can’t safely support modern power usage. Installing additional power points:

• Improves convenience – fewer extension cables, less clutter, more accessible outlets.
• Enhances safety – reduces the risk of overloaded sockets or unsafe extension use.
• Supports modern living – home offices, entertainment systems, kitchen appliances, EV chargers, and more.

We assess your needs, evaluate current circuits, and plan installations that meet modern safety and usage requirements.

Compliant, Safe & Professional Installation

All our work follows the UK’s national standard for electrical installations, BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations). We ensure every socket outlet is correctly wired, correctly protected (with appropriate circuit and RCD/RCBO protection where required), and installed at a safe and convenient height and position.

We also adhere to the wider regulatory environment, including relevant building and safety regulations for electrical work in dwellings.

Whether it’s fitting a single new double socket in a living room or wiring sockets in a full kitchen renovation, including dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances, our team handles the job safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.

Tailored Solutions for Every Home

Every home is different, from Victorian terraces in South Wales to modern builds near Gloucester or Cheltenham. We offer bespoke power-point layouts based on your needs and lifestyle. During a consultation, we’ll discuss:

• How many sockets you need, and where (living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, offices).
• Whether any circuits need upgrading for high-draw devices (e.g. washing machines, dishwashers, EV chargers).
• The style and finish of sockets to match your décor, including standard outlets, USB-integrated sockets, or upgraded surge-protected variants.

Once the plan is set, our NAPIT-certified electricians will install the sockets professionally – testing each output before signing off to ensure full compliance and safety.
