From a single tidy USB socket behind a TV to a dedicated 32 A circuit for a workshop or garage — first-fix planning through to make-good, done properly with certification handed over on completion.
Adding electrical points — new sockets, USB sockets, TV points, dedicated circuits for appliances or outbuildings — to an existing installation. Includes route planning, first-fix cabling, second-fix accessories, and certification.
Homeowners setting up a home office, adding a workshop or gym, upgrading behind-TV points, installing new kitchen appliances, or wiring a garden outbuilding. Landlords bringing older properties up to a decent socket count.
During any refurbishment — cabling is far cheaper before plaster goes on. Also common as a standalone job when the extension lead count in a room passes three, or when a new appliance needs its own circuit.
Adaptors and extension leads are the visible sign of an undersized system — and the leading cause of household electrical fires. Adding sockets properly, on correctly sized circuits, removes the fault chain at source.
The reason to book proper work now — instead of putting it off — comes down to what happens when you don't.
Daisy-chained extension leads are the single most common cause of household electrical fires in England — cheap to fix properly, expensive to ignore.
A ring final with too many spurred sockets, or an unfused spur off a spur, is a routine C2 on any competent EICR. Best to add points as fed circuits, not lazy spurs.
Modern induction hobs, EV chargers and electric showers pull far more current than a 1970s ring was ever asked to carry. Undersized circuits trip under load or run hot in the wall.
Anything more than a like-for-like accessory swap is notifiable under Part P. Unnotified work is a live problem at any future sale or EICR.
We look at the existing installation, discuss what you're adding, and plan cable routes with the least disruption to plaster and carpet.
Materials listed, chase and making-good scope confirmed, and any Part P notification included in the price.
Cable routed through voids or chased into plaster, back boxes fixed level and true, and the circuit connected at the consumer unit under safe isolation.
Accessories fitted, terminated to spec, and every added circuit tested — insulation resistance, continuity, polarity, RCD trip.
Chases filled ready for your decorator, and Minor Works or Installation Certificate emailed the same day. Part P notified where applicable.
Enough points, in the right places, so the extension leads go back in the drawer for good.
Dedicated 20 A or 32 A circuits for showers, hobs, EV chargers or workshop tools — no more tripping under load.
Cables routed through voids where possible, chases kept small and made good before we leave.
Modern USB-A/USB-C combi outlets at bedsides, desks and kitchens — no wall-warts, no lost cables.
Every add-on properly certificated so a future EICR or house sale has clean paperwork.
Most single-room additions are done in a day. Larger jobs (workshop feeds, kitchen re-circuits) usually two.

Adding to an existing installation looks easy and is where most cowboy work happens. Done properly it's invisible, certified, and adds value to the property. Done badly it's an FI on the next EICR and a discount at the next sale.
Where we can, we run new points as unfused spurs off a healthy ring — cheaper and quicker. Where the ring is already at capacity, we either add a fused spur or run a new radial circuit from the consumer unit. Decision made on the day based on the existing circuit's health, not on what's fastest.
Electric showers, induction hobs, EV chargers, workshop tools, immersion heaters, tumble dryers on continuous use, and any single appliance drawing over 16 A continuously belong on their own circuit. We size the cable (2.5 mm², 4 mm², 6 mm² or 10 mm²) to the load and cable route, and protect it with an RCBO sized to the appliance.
Modern combi sockets integrate USB-A and USB-C at 20 W into a standard back box — perfect for bedsides, desks and kitchens. TV points, CAT6 data and coaxial can be added at the same time on the same chase, all terminated properly to standard.
Sheds, garages and garden studios usually mean an SWA cable run from the house, terminated into a garage consumer unit with RCD protection. Handled with the outdoor and garden electrics workflow — see that page for cable burial depths, marker tape and IP ratings.
Kitchens deserve dedicated ring finals in addition to the appliance circuits — plus USB above worktops, task lighting circuits, and often a data point behind the fridge for smart displays. Home offices benefit from double sockets at desk height, a spare on the opposite wall, and CAT6 if the router isn't in the room.

07886 780653A single added double socket typically £70–£150 depending on cable route and making-good. Multiple points quoted together for better value.
Sometimes — depends on the ground floor construction and where existing circuits run. We plan the least invasive route at quote stage and always agree it before starting.
Yes — swapping a standard double socket for a USB combi is often a same-visit job, though some slim back boxes need a swap for the extra depth.
Yes — both need dedicated RCD-protected circuits sized to the load. We survey and quote on the specifics.
New circuits and additions in bathrooms or kitchens are notifiable under Part P. We handle the notification as Competent Persons Scheme members — no separate fee.
We chase-fill around new accessories ready for a decorator. Skim plastering and painting is quoted separately if you'd like us to arrange it.
One working day for a few added points and a decorator-ready finish. Larger jobs quoted with a clear day count.
Yes — Minor Works Certificate for small additions, or an Electrical Installation Certificate for new circuits. Emailed the same day.
