01
Load
The intended equipment and likely electrical demand are established.
Electrical service / Sockets & circuits
Additional sockets and dedicated circuits
New sockets and circuits should suit the load, the existing installation and the way the room is used. The route and finish matter as much as the accessory itself.
01When to enquire
Start with the property and the result you need.
- Extension leads have become a permanent solution
- A kitchen or utility appliance needs a dedicated supply
- A home office or media area needs more outlets
- An outbuilding or new item of equipment needs power
02What to expect
A methodical route from enquiry to completion.
02
Existing circuit
The current circuit and consumer-unit capacity are checked.
03
Route
A cable route and accessory position are agreed around surfaces and finishes.
04
Install
The addition is fitted, tested and documented where required.
03An important distinction
More outlets can mean a new circuit
The existing circuit must be suitable for the additional load. High-demand equipment may need its own dedicated circuit rather than an extension to a current one.

04Service questions
Before you decide what happens next.
Can cables be hidden?
Often, but the route, wall construction and planned decoration determine what is practical and what making good may be needed.
Can you add power to an outbuilding?
Potentially. Distance, cable route, earthing and the intended load all need assessment before a design is agreed.
