“Fantastic service from Innes. Hired to fit a new extractor fan in the bathroom. He walked me through the options available and what he would recommend. On the install day he arrived on time and did a very professional install in the loft.”

FAQs

Common Questions

Can't find your answer? Give us a call on 07940 071963.

In most cases, yes. Adding sockets typically involves a small amount of chasing into the wall to route cable, installing a back box and fitting the socket plate. Modern methods mean we can often keep disruption to a minimum. We'll assess your Edinburgh property and advise the neatest route before starting.

It depends on the circuit's existing load and the cable rating. Ring final circuits can typically accommodate additional outlets within certain limits. Radial circuits are more limited. We always calculate circuit capacity before adding outlets to ensure your Edinburgh home's electrics remain safe and compliant.

Yes — USB socket outlets are a very popular addition in Edinburgh homes. We install USB-A and USB-C socket plates that allow you to charge devices directly without needing adaptors. These are particularly useful in bedrooms, home offices and kitchens.

Absolutely. Outdoor socket installation is one of our most common requests across Edinburgh. We install IP-rated weatherproof outdoor sockets, either surface-mounted or flush on rendered walls, powered from your main supply with RCD protection as standard. Full certification is provided.

Adding a socket to an existing circuit in a kitchen or bathroom is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. As a registered contractor, we self-certify and issue a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate. In other rooms, a Minor Works Certificate is still best practice and we provide this as standard.

Yes — if your Edinburgh property has old round-pin sockets or single sockets that you'd like replaced with modern double outlets, we can do this as part of an upgrade visit. We'll check the condition of the wiring behind the existing sockets before replacing the outlet plates.
