Socket and switch installation in Woking
- 01
Choosing the right sockets
Double sockets suit most rooms, while sockets with built-in USB ports cut down on plug adaptors by the bed or desk. Outdoor sockets need a weatherproof cover and RCD protection. Finishes range from plain white to brushed steel and black, to match the room.

Adding to an existing circuit
Most extra sockets can be added to the existing ring or radial circuit, as long as it's in good condition and not already overloaded. We test the circuit first. If it isn't suitable, we'll explain why and price a new circuit instead.

Where sockets can't go
Bathrooms have strict rules: standard sockets must be at least three metres from the bath or shower, with shaver sockets the main exception. In kitchens, sockets should be kept clear of the sink and the hob. We'll suggest safe positions that still work for you.
What to expect from a socket and switch installation
Tell us how many sockets or switches you need and where, with photos if possible. We'll check the circuit and wall type when we visit, then give you a free quote that covers the parts, the cable route and making good.
We isolate the circuit, cut in the back boxes, run the cable and fit the new sockets or switches. Every addition is tested before power is restored, and you receive a Minor Works Certificate, or an installation certificate if a new circuit was needed.
What's included
- Circuit checked before we add to it

Socket and Switch Installation questions
Can you add more sockets to a room in my Woking home?
Yes. We test the existing circuit in your Woking home first, then add double or USB sockets where you need them. That way you can stop relying on extension leads and adaptors, and every new socket is on a circuit that can safely take the load.
Is it safe to use extension leads instead of new sockets?
Occasional use is fine, but relying on them long term isn't ideal. Overloaded or daisy-chained leads can overheat, especially with heaters, kettles or other high-power appliances plugged in. If you use them permanently, extra sockets are the safer and tidier answer.
Can you fit an outdoor socket on my house in Woking?
Yes. We fit weatherproof outdoor sockets on house walls, garages and fences around Woking, with RCD protection. They're useful for lawnmowers, pressure washers and garden lighting. If you want power further down the garden, we can run an armoured cable to it.
Can I change my sockets and switches to a different finish?
Yes. Swapping white plastic for brushed steel, chrome or black is a quick way to refresh a room. We change them like for like, check the connections behind each one, and test the circuits once the new fronts are fitted.
