About this service

Trailing extension leads are the sign of a house that's outgrown its wiring. Adding sockets where you use them is one of the cheapest upgrades you can make — and far safer than daisy-chained adaptors.

I'll add single, double or USB sockets, run dedicated circuits for ovens, hobs, showers and garden offices, and chase cables in properly so the finish looks original rather than bolted on.

What's included

  • New and additional sockets, indoors and out
  • USB and USB-C charging sockets
  • Dedicated circuits for ovens, hobs and showers
  • Garage, shed and garden office supplies
  • Kitchen and utility rewiring during refits
  • Replacing worn, scorched or loose sockets

Common questions

Can you put a socket on the other side of the room?
Almost always — I'll talk you through the tidiest cable route and the cost difference before starting.
Do I need an outdoor-rated socket?
Yes, anything outside needs a weatherproof IP-rated socket on an RCD-protected circuit. That's included in the quote.
How do you price a job?
Most work is a fixed price agreed before I start, based on a proper look at the job. Fault finding is charged at a clear diagnosis rate that I tell you up front.
Do I get a certificate for the work?
Yes. New circuits, consumer units, rewires and EV chargers are tested and certified, with the paperwork sent to you and notified where required.
Do you supply the materials and fittings?
I can supply quality trade materials at a fair price, or fit items you've bought yourself — whichever you prefer.
