Additional socket installation in Manchester
- 01
Choosing where sockets go
Think about where you plug things in now: beside the bed, behind the TV, at the desk and along kitchen worktops. Adding sockets in those spots stops cables running across floors. We help you plan positions and heights before any wall is opened up.

Spurs, rings and new circuits
A new socket can often be added as a spur from an existing socket or by extending the ring circuit. Where a room needs several new sockets or heavy loads, a new circuit from the consumer unit may be the safer choice. We check which suits your wiring.

USB and outdoor options
USB sockets let you charge phones and tablets without plug adaptors. Outdoor sockets need a weatherproof cover and RCD protection, and are handy for garden tools, pressure washers and lighting. We fit both, matched to your existing switches and sockets where possible.
What to expect from additional socket installation
We start by checking the circuit you want to extend, including its condition, earthing and how much it already supplies. This tells us whether a spur, a ring extension or a new circuit is right. You then get a free, no-obligation quote.
On the day, we cut in the back box, run the cable, fit the socket and make good around it. Cables are run in safe zones in the wall. Once connected, the circuit is tested and you receive a Minor Works Certificate, or an installation certificate for a new circuit.

Additional socket installation questions
How much does it cost to add a socket in Manchester?
It depends on how far the socket is from the nearest supply, the type of wall and whether a new circuit is needed. Adding a socket next to an existing one is simpler than running a cable across a room. We give you a free quote once we've seen the job.
Can you add sockets without damaging my decor in Manchester?
We keep damage to a minimum. Where possible, cables are fed under floors or through voids rather than chased into plaster. Some making good is usually needed around the new back box, and we leave the wall ready for you to touch up the paint.
Do I need building control for a new socket in my Manchester home?
Usually not. Adding a socket to an existing circuit is not notifiable under Part P, though the work must still meet the wiring regulations and be certified. A brand new circuit is notifiable, and as an NICEIC registered electrician we notify it for you.
Can you fit an outdoor socket at my Manchester property?
Yes. We fit weatherproof outdoor sockets on walls, fences and garden buildings, with RCD protection to cut the power quickly if there's a fault. They're useful for lawnmowers, pressure washers, garden lighting and charging tools. We'll advise on the best position and cable route.
