Domestic Electrical
Sockets, Switches & Fault Finding
Extra sockets, USB outlets, replacement switches and methodical fault finding when something isn't working the way it should.
Adding sockets where you actually use them removes the daily nuisance of trailing extension leads and cluttered adaptors. And when a circuit keeps tripping, a light stops working or an outlet feels warm, methodical fault finding is what actually gets it sorted safely.
Typical work
- Additional double sockets and USB outlets
- Moving or repositioning sockets
- Replacing outdated or damaged accessories
- Dimmer switches and multi-way switching
- Tracing tripping circuits and intermittent faults
- Investigating burning smells or warm outlets
