4) Installation Methods for Additional Sockets

We offer a range of installation methods to meet your preferences and the layout of your property. Our two primary options are recessed installations and PVC mini trunking:

• Recessed Installation: For a seamless look, we can recess sockets into the wall. This involves cutting into the plaster and embedding the socket within the wall, followed by rewiring to ensure a flush finish. Please note that recessed installations do not include any making good (plastering or redecorating) that may be required after the installation.
• PVC Mini Trunking: For a quicker installation that avoids cutting into walls, we offer PVC mini trunking. This method involves mounting sockets onto the wall surface and routing cables through a neat plastic trunking, which is affixed to the wall. This is an efficient, cost-effective solution that keeps cables tidy and protected without the need for extensive plastering. PVC mini trunking is especially popular for garages, home offices, and areas where function is a priority.

5) Frequently Asked Questions

How many additional sockets can I install in a single room?

The number of additional sockets you can install depends on the layout and current load of your wiring. Our electricians will assess your needs and advise on the safest and most effective setup for your Walton-on-Thames home.

Will installing more sockets affect my property’s existing wiring?

Adding sockets generally does not impact existing wiring if it is in good condition. However, if your wiring is outdated, we may recommend upgrades to safely handle the increased demand.

How long does socket installation take?

The time required depends on the complexity and number of sockets being added. A single socket installation typically takes 1-2 hours, while a larger setup may take half a day. Our team will provide a time estimate during the consultation.

Yes, we offer a range of USB socket options to meet your needs, providing convenient charging points for your devices. These sockets can be installed in most areas of your Walton-on-Thames home.

Minimal disruption is expected. We may need to temporarily turn off power in certain areas, but we’ll keep downtime to a minimum and notify you in advance.
