Can you add USB sockets and smart switches?

Yes — we fit USB and USB-C sockets, dimmer switches, smart switches and feature lighting to modernise your home, tidily and to regulation.

Can you move a socket or light fitting?

Yes — we relocate sockets, switches and light fittings, chase cables into the wall where needed and make good, leaving a neat finish.

Do I need a certificate for adding an extra socket?

Adding a socket as a spur from an existing circuit does not require Building Regulations notification. However, adding a completely new circuit does require a Minor Works or Building Regulations certificate. We will advise on what is needed and provide the correct paperwork.

Can you hide the cables in the wall?

Yes — we chase cables into the plaster for a flush, clean finish. We can also run cables behind skirting boards or use surface-mounted mini-trunking where chasing is not practical. We will discuss the best option for your property when quoting.

How long does it take to fit extra sockets?

A single new double socket typically takes 1–2 hours. Multiple sockets across a room or floor can usually be done in a half-day visit. We aim to cause minimal disruption and clean up fully before we leave.

Can you fit sockets outside?

Yes — we install weatherproof IP-rated outdoor sockets to the correct standard. These need to be on a properly protected circuit with RCD protection. We quote and supply the right fittings as part of the job.
