Socket installation in Basingstoke

JD Electricals fits extra sockets for homeowners and landlords around Basingstoke. A new outlet is added to the existing circuit, tested, and left working, with any further work priced on its own rather than added to the bill.

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.

Extra sockets for homes and landlords

  • Homeowners and landlords add extra sockets when a wall has no spare outlet left for the next appliance.
  • A desk, TV or appliance has nowhere left to plug in on that wall.
  • A trailing lead is doing the job of a proper extra socket.
  • Kettles, toasters and chargers share one outlet on the worktop.
