Socket & power work

Socket and Power Work We Carry Out

Whether you're short of sockets, want them somewhere more sensible, or need power for a specific appliance, our electricians handle it properly rather than adding another extension lead.

Additional sockets

Extra single and double sockets added to existing circuits where the circuit can take them.

Replacement sockets

Damaged, discoloured or dated accessories replaced, including USB and switched variants.

Relocating sockets

Sockets moved to suit new furniture layouts, kitchens, radiators or building work.

Kitchen power

Appliance supplies, worktop sockets and dedicated circuits planned around the units.

Home office power

Power for desks, equipment and media walls where a room has changed use.

Outdoor & outbuilding power

Externally rated sockets and supplies to garages, sheds and garden rooms where suitable.

Common requests

Where Additional Power Is Usually Needed

Most homes in South Essex were wired long before households ran several devices in every room. The result is trailing extension leads, overloaded four-way adaptors and sockets in awkward places behind furniture.

Adding power where you actually need it is usually straightforward, and it's a lot safer than relying on adaptors. We'll check the existing circuit first and tell you what's possible.

Before we start

Installation Considerations

Adding a socket isn't always as simple as spurring off the nearest one. A few things determine what can be done and how.

Existing circuit condition

The circuit is tested first. Additions can only be made to a circuit that's in a suitable condition.

Load and capacity

What the circuit already supplies, and whether the new load is better served by a dedicated circuit.

Consumer unit

Whether the board has spare capacity and appropriate protection for the work.

Cable routes

How the cable can be run, surface, chased in, under floors or through voids, and the making good involved.

Position and use

Heights, accessibility and how the space is furnished so the socket ends up somewhere useful.

External conditions

Outdoor work needs suitably rated accessories, protection and cable suited to the environment.

Help & advice

Sockets & Power FAQs

“Can you add a socket to an existing circuit?”

Usually, yes, provided the circuit is in suitable condition and can take the additional load. We test it before carrying out the work.

“How long does it take to fit an extra socket?”

A straightforward addition is often completed within a couple of hours. Longer cable runs or work involving floors and voids take longer.

“Can you move a socket?”

Yes. Relocating sockets is common during kitchen work, furniture changes and radiator replacements.

“Do you fit USB sockets?”

Yes, USB and USB-C sockets can be fitted in place of standard accessories where suitable.

“Can I have an outdoor socket?”

Yes, using externally rated accessories on a suitably protected circuit. We'll check the existing installation first.

“Do I need a new consumer unit for extra sockets?”

Not usually for additions to an existing circuit. A new circuit may need spare capacity or updated protection, see consumer units.

“One of my sockets has stopped working, can you look at it?”

Yes, that's fault finding work. Stop using the socket until it has been checked.

“Do you carry out commercial socket work?”

Yes, workstation power, additional outlets and alterations for offices and other commercial premises.
