From replacing a tired accessory to adding or relocating electrical points as part of a wider project, I can carry out the smaller alterations that make a room work better as well as the more involved work around them.

What I can help with

  • Adding, moving or replacing sockets and switches.
  • Upgrading standard accessories as part of a room refresh.
  • USB and USB-C charging points and other modern accessories.
  • Additional points for televisions, appliances and home offices.
  • Making good provision for new layouts during renovations.

Where possible, I consider the existing installation, the intended use of the room and the finished appearance together, rather than treating each accessory as an isolated job.

Good electrical work should look like it belongs there.
Where wiring needs to be altered, I will explain the practical options and aim for the neatest sensible finish.

Common questions

Can you add a socket where there isn’t one now?

Yes, this is one of my most commonly asked questions. The practical route depends on the existing circuit, cable routes and the location of the new point. I will assess that before deciding how the work should be carried out.

Can you replace old switches and sockets without changing the wiring?

In most cases, yes. I will check the condition of the existing installation and the accessory before recommending whether a straightforward replacement is appropriate – if your wiring is particularly old or degraded (VIR or lead cables for instance) then additional action may need to be taken.

Can you add sockets as part of a renovation?

Yes. This is a common reason for adding or relocating points, and it is usually best planned alongside the wider work so the final positions make sense for how the room will actually be used.

Can you advise where sockets should go?

Yes. I am happy to look at the proposed furniture and room layout and discuss practical positions before anything is installed.
