Additional Sockets & Switches in Watford and Hertfordshire
Modern homes rarely have enough sockets for the way we actually live, laptops, chargers, kitchen appliances, and home office kit all competing for the same few outlets. Overloaded extension leads and multi-plug adaptors are one of the most common electrical hazards we come across in Hertfordshire homes.
We install additional socket outlets wherever they’re genuinely useful, home offices, kitchens, bedrooms, and living areas, along with USB charging sockets, dimmer switches for mood lighting, and outdoor sockets for garden power tools or lighting. Every additional circuit is fitted with the correct RCD protection and tested on completion, with certification provided for your records.
If your consumer unit doesn’t have a spare way for a new circuit, we’ll flag this during the quote rather than on the day. In some cases, this is a good opportunity to consider a wider consumer unit upgrade at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do you offer same-day or emergency electrical callouts?
We aim to offer fast response times for urgent electrical faults, particularly anything involving a safety risk. Call us directly to discuss availability for your specific issue.
-
Do I need Part P certification for general electrical work?
Notifiable work, such as new circuits or consumer unit changes, requires Part P certification. As NAPIT registered electricians, we self-certify this on your behalf and provide the paperwork you need.
-
How much does an additional socket cost to install?
Cost depends on the circuit, location, and whether your consumer unit has a spare way. We provide a fixed-price quote before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the day.
-
Can you diagnose electrical faults without a full rewire?
Yes. Most electrical faults, tripping breakers, dead sockets, intermittent power, are resolved through targeted fault finding and repair, not a full rewire. We only recommend a rewire where it’s genuinely the right fix.
-
Do you work on domestic properties only?
Yes. We specialise exclusively in domestic electrical work for homeowners and landlords, which means our experience is entirely focused on the kind of jobs UK homes actually need.
