What happens on the day
Every socket installation follows a systematic procedure to ensure the circuit handles the added demand safely. Power interruption is kept isolated solely to the circuit being expanded.
- Circuit capacity verificationBefore fitting any hardware, the existing electrical circuit is evaluated to confirm it can accommodate the extra electrical load without overstressing cables or protective devices.
- Isolated circuit installationThe specific circuit being worked on is turned off at the consumer unit while other household circuits remain live. The back box and faceplate are secured, and wiring connections are completed securely.
- Testing and power restorationOnce installed, the circuit is re-energised and tested with calibrated equipment to ensure proper earth continuity and polarity before leaving the work area tidy and ready for use.

“Most of my work is domestic: consumer units, full and partial rewires, lighting and EICRs on houses around Basingstoke. I test and certify everything I fit, and anything else I find while I am there gets priced separately rather than added quietly to the bill. The electrician who quotes your job is the one who does it.”

WhatsAppWill the entire house lose power while sockets are fitted?
No. Only the specific electrical circuit being worked on is turned off at the consumer unit. The remaining lighting and socket circuits in your home stay powered normally while the new point is wired in.
Can I add more than one socket on a single visit?
Yes. Multiple extra sockets can be installed across one or several rooms during the same appointment. Each additional outlet is priced clearly according to the cable runs and faceplates selected.
Do you provide decorative metal socket faceplates?
We can install a variety of faceplate finishes including brushed steel, polished chrome, black nickel, or standard white plastic to coordinate with your existing room decor.
Can any existing wall circuit take an extra socket?
Before adding an outlet, the circuit must be checked to confirm it has sufficient spare capacity and correct protective devices. If the circuit cannot safely take another point, alternative wiring routes are explained.
What paperwork do I receive for a new socket installation?
Following the installation and testing of the new outlet, the relevant electrical minor works paperwork is completed to record that the addition meets domestic electrical safety standards.
