Who this is for. Anyone running their house off extension leads and adaptors.

The job most electricians will not turn out for

Adding sockets is not a big job and plenty of firms will not book it. We do, because small jobs done well are how people find out whether they trust you with a big one.

What it actually involves

The socket on the wall is the cheap part. The cost sits in the cable route: whether we can reach an existing circuit sensibly, whether floors or ceilings have to come up, and what has to be made good afterwards. We work that out before quoting so the number holds.

A trailing extension lead is not a solution.

Daisy-chained adaptors behind a TV or under a desk are one of the most common causes of the overheating we get called out to. Adding a proper double socket costs less than the call out that follows.

How it works

  1. Tell us where you want them

    A photo of the wall and the nearest existing socket usually does it.

  2. We check the circuit can take it

    Adding load to a circuit that is already near capacity is how faults start.

  3. Install and make good

    Chased and filled, or surface run in trunking if you prefer no mess.

  4. Tested and certified

    Minor works certificate issued for the record.

Questions we get asked

Is there a minimum charge?

There is a minimum job value, and we will tell you what it is on the phone. If you have a list of small things, doing them in one visit is far better value than one at a time.

Can I have an outdoor socket?

Yes, IP rated and RCD protected. Very useful for mowers, pressure washers and Christmas lights, all of which currently run through your kitchen window.

Can you put power in my garage?

Yes, as a proper sub-main in armoured cable rather than a lead under the door. Usually with a small board at the garage end.

Will you have to lift my floor?

Sometimes. We tell you before we quote rather than discovering it on the day.

I found the electrician, Brady Lewis, earlier this year, and would highly recommend him. He has always demonstrated that he is consistently punctual, personable, trustworthy, efficient, fair, and has excellent skills in his trade. Completed perfectly, on time, as promised, and at a fair price.
