What do sockets and switches installation services include?

Trained and certified electricians work on socket and light switch installation tasks so you won't have to compromise you and your home's overall safety. They can assemble wirings and cable, connect them to power sources, and inspect if the electricity is flowing adequately right after. Thinking of booking our switch installation service? Here's what you can expect:

Powerpoint installation

Before installing your appliances, it's crucial to secure enough power points to support the electricity flow. Electricians can help you plan, install, and replace or add powerpoints to maximise your area. They start by inspecting your place to identify specific spots where you'll likely need power sockets. The installation process typically involves:

  • unscrewing the cover plates
  • retesting the power source
  • connecting extra cables to existing electrical outlets and stretching them to different locations
  • rewiring cables to the new electrical socket or powerpoint
  • Light switch installation

Light switches are responsible for connecting your electrical lights to the power source. If you need to replace an existing light switch, your electrician can disconnect them for you. Keep in mind, however, that the replacement switch needs to have the same functionality as the old one.

We can help install new light switches if you're in the process of building a new home or renovating your bathroom or kitchen. The process mostly involves rewiring and connecting new cables to the power source and mounting new faceplates. In case you want multi-purpose electrical lights, you can also request for dimmer switch installation.

Outdoor electrical socket installation

Professional electricians can also install outdoor sockets on your balcony, patio, or turf. This way, it's easier and safer to connect your appliances, especially if you're planning to have an outdoor kitchen or barbeque area. 

It's also essential to consider the size of the landscape area, the structure conditions, and all the equipment you're planning to utilise. Electricians can handle the drill, connect cables from indoor to outdoor wall, and rewire your new outdoor electrical outlets accordingly.

Qualified electrician needed – sockets, extractor, TV & curtains

£300

Earl's Court, Greater London

22nd Sep 2026

I’m looking for a qualified/registered electrician who can also carry out the associated installation work. The jobs are: • Install a new electrical socket/connection on the wall above the hob to accommodate an extractor fan, and then install and connect the extractor fan. • Install a new electrical socket/connection high up on the living-room wall to accommodate a wall-mounted TV. • Install the TV bracket securely onto the living-room wall and mount the TV onto the bracket. The wall is mortar/brick, so the appropriate heavy-duty drill, masonry bits and fixings will be required. Please only apply if you have the suitable equipment and experience for securely mounting a TV onto this type of wall. • Install a 350cm IKEA VIDGA curtain track inside a high-up curtain pelmet. The pelmet is approx. 340cm wide and 312cm high. I have purchased 3 x IKEA VIDGA single track sets. The tracks will need to be measured, cut to the required length, joined together and securely installed inside the pelmet. Once installed, the curtain also needs to be put onto the track. The high-up work will require a suitable tall ladder/platform and appropriate equipment. Please only apply if you are suitably qualified and experienced to carry out the electrical work, including testing/certification as required. Please bring the appropriate tools, equipment, drill/masonry bits and fixings required for the work. Please quote for labour and let me know separately if any additional materials are required. I can provide photos of the walls/locations and the extractor fan and TV details if required.

Electrical work: sockets, radiator removal

£200

Stepney, Greater London, E1

16th Sep 2026

I’m looking for a qualified electrician for several small electrical jobs in my flat. Ideally I’d like to have these completed together, depending on the quote. 1. Convert 3 existing single sockets to flush-mounted double sockets I have the new double socket faceplates already. The existing openings will need to be enlarged/chased out and suitable double back boxes fitted into the wall, so the finished sockets sit flush with the wall like standard sockets. I do not want surface-mounted boxes. 2. Remove 2 hardwired electric radiators and replace the connection points with flush-mounted double sockets There are two electric radiators currently hardwired into fused connection points. I’d like both radiators electrically disconnected and removed, then, where suitable, the existing connection points converted to double sockets. The replacement sockets should also be flush-mounted into the wall, not surface-mounted, including any chasing or enlargement required. I have the double socket faceplates already. I’ve attached a photo showing the existing radiator connection. Please check that the existing circuits are suitable before converting the radiator points to sockets. I will supply all visible socket faceplates. Please include any back boxes, cable and other installation materials required. Please include labour, testing and any required electrical certification in your quote. If possible, please give me: • a total price for completing everything together • a rough breakdown for each part, as I might do some of the work separately depending on the total Free underground parking is available on site.
