Socket & Switch Installation

There are many reasons you might need additional sockets in your home. Modern households often use more electrical devices than older socket layouts were designed for. You might find yourself relying on extension leads, which isn’t ideal for long-term use. New sockets can also add convenience in home offices, kitchens, or anywhere you regularly use electrical appliances. They’re also worth considering when renovating or if your current sockets are showing signs of wear.

Installation time varies depending on factors such as the number of sockets needed and whether we’re adding to an existing circuit or creating a new one. A simple single socket addition might take a couple of hours, while a more complex installation involving multiple sockets or requiring new wiring routes could take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate before starting the work.
