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.

Light fitting and switches

£100

South Lambeth, Greater London, SW8

24th Apr 2026

I currently have a hallway with a single gang switch at each end of the hallway which operate two ceiling light fittings. I want these replaced with two gang fittings so that I can operate each light separately (or have both on together). Also, one of the ceiling lights has broken (it’s an old bayonet fitting) and I’d want that replaced with another flush single bulb screw fitting. It’s a very low ceiling so there’s just space for a bulb, basically. I can buy any fixtures needed and I’ll purchase the two gang light switches if you confirm that it’s possible.

Basically what the description says. Floor to ceiling is 237cm. I have a ladder I need handy man as well that’ll be useful as I need my television, mirror (180x80cm) and picture frame put up. I have the bracket and screws for the television. The mirror will arrive by the 2nd February so we’ll be able to arrange a date once its arrived. The picture frame is very light and will go on a plastered extension wall so I’m not sure how you’d put that up.

Really helpful. Did electrical and handyman work 🤍

Fix bathroom light switch & X2 wall sockets

£100

Vauxhall, Greater London, SE11

30th Jun 2025

I need a qualified electrician to fix the bathroom light switch. The wiring has been dodgy since I moved in 10 years ago. It gets loose and has to be rewired to fix the wires into place so that it works properly. However, one of the screws is now completely fatigued and it won't fix the three brown wires into place. When I get it working again the switch also won't switch off - the light stays on, and the extractor fan that is also connected to it won't work either. It's become too dangerous to fix it myself. The metal switch panel itself may need replacing and one of the screws it screws into the wall with is also knackered. I'm also having an issue with the double plug socket in the hallway - only one side of it works properly. Ideally I would like the bathroom light switch and the two double plug sockets fixed at the same time.
