Additional lighting and power. Exactly where you need it.
New sockets, extra circuits, downlights, outdoor lighting, kitchen power — whatever you need added to your home, we do it cleanly, safely, and properly certified. No job too small.
Our accreditations & certifications
More sockets. Better lighting. Done right, first time.
Most homes accumulate electrical needs over time — extension sockets, extra USB outlets, new kitchen appliances, outdoor lighting, a home office circuit, bathroom LED mirrors. We handle all of it cleanly and correctly, with the right certification for every job.
Every piece of additional work we carry out is tested before we leave and backed by a Minor Works Certificate or a full EIC, depending on the scope. Your safety, and your paperwork, are both in order.
Additional sockets & USB outlets — anywhere in the property
LED downlight & feature lighting installation
Outdoor sockets, security lighting, and garden circuits
Bathroom lighting — shaver points, LED mirrors, and zone-compliant fittings
Whatever you need, fitted properly.
From a single socket to a full outdoor circuit — every job is tested, certified, and done to the same standard.
New sockets & USB outlets
Single and double sockets, USB-A and USB-C outlets, switched fused spurs — fitted anywhere in the property, on existing or new circuits.
LED downlight installation
Recessed LED downlights fitted and wired, including fire-rated fittings for ceilings above habitable spaces and IP65 fittings for bathrooms and kitchens.
Outdoor lighting & power
External wall lights, garden ground spots, driveway lighting, outdoor weatherproof sockets, and soffit lighting — all on dedicated outdoor RCD-protected circuits.
Kitchen power circuits
Dedicated circuits for ovens, hobs, dishwashers, washing machines, and fridge-freezers — correctly rated, labelled, and fitted to your kitchen layout.
Dimmer switches & smart controls
Single and multi-way dimmer switches, smart lighting control systems, and programmable scene controllers — wired and commissioned to your specification.
Certification on every job
Every job is certified — Minor Works Certificate for smaller additions, full EIC for larger works. You get the paperwork you need, every time.
Bathroom electrical work: All electrical work in bathrooms must comply with the zone requirements of BS 7671. We only fit fittings rated correctly for their zone — and we'll advise on what's permissible before we quote.
6 things we can add to your home
Call us or book a free quote — most jobs are simpler and faster than you expect.
01
Extension or loft conversion
New extensions and loft conversions always need new circuits — lighting, sockets, potentially heating. We fit them to the same standard as the rest of the property.
02
Kitchen renovation
New kitchens need new power — induction hob circuit, oven supply, integrated appliances, under-cabinet lighting, and USB sockets on the worktop.
03
Garden lighting & outdoor power
Weatherproof sockets on the patio, ground-spike garden lights, automatic security lighting, and soffit lighting — all on correctly protected outdoor circuits.
04
Home office circuit
Dedicated power for a home office — multiple sockets, clean lighting, and a circuit that doesn't share load with the rest of the house.
05
Bathroom lighting
LED mirrors, downlights in the correct IP rating for the zone, shaver sockets, towel rail feeds, and underfloor heating connections — all to zone compliance.
06
Smart lighting or dimmers
Multi-way dimmers, scene control, or a smart lighting system — we wire and commission all major brands and work with your chosen system to get it running correctly.
How we carry out lighting and power work, start to finish.

Fit accessories & test
Sockets, switches, and light fittings are fitted, connected, and tested for correct operation, polarity, and continuity before we tidy up and leave.

Common questions about lighting and power
Do I need a qualified electrician to add sockets?
Strictly speaking, you can add a socket to an existing ring circuit yourself — but any new circuit, or work in kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoors, must be carried out or certified by a qualified electrician. We'll advise on what applies to your job when you enquire.
How many sockets can I add to an existing circuit?
It depends on the total load on the circuit, the cable size, and the protective device rating. Most ring circuits can accommodate additional spurs up to a point — but there's a limit. We'll assess this during your survey and tell you whether an existing circuit is sufficient or a new one is needed.
Can you install outdoor sockets and lighting?
Yes — weatherproof sockets, garden lighting, security lights, and driveway lighting are all things we do regularly. All outdoor circuits are on their own RCD-protected circuit, buried at the correct depth where underground, and installed with armoured cable where required.
What certificate do I receive for additional electrical work?
For smaller additions (adding a socket, fitting a light), you receive a Minor Works Certificate. For new circuits or more significant work, you receive a full Electrical Installation Certificate. We'll tell you which applies when we quote.
Can you install smart lighting or dimmers?
Yes. We work with all major smart lighting systems and standard dimmer switches — single-way and multi-way. We wire and commission the system and can advise on compatibility with your existing setup.
Do you do bathroom lighting?
Yes — LED downlights, illuminated mirrors, shaver sockets, and extractor fan wiring. All bathroom electrical work must comply with the zone requirements of BS 7671, and we only specify fittings with the correct IP rating for their location.
How long does it take to add a socket or light?
A single socket or light fitting is typically a 1–2 hour job. A full room of sockets or a new circuit might take half a day. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when we quote.
