Extra sockets and switches in the home
Too few outlets in a room, or a switch that no longer turns the light, is the reason for extra sockets and switches in the home.
- Extension leads across the floorA trailing block under the sofa or desk is the usual sign the room needs another socket.
- A switch that does nothingThe light stays off, the bulb is new, and the switch itself is the part that needs changing.
- The furniture has movedA bed, desk or sofa in a new place leaves the nearest socket behind the furniture.
- A rental that needs another pointLandlords add a socket or a matching switch in a let without rewiring the rest of the house.

WhatsAppHow much does a new socket cost?
Domestic socket and switch installation from TMB Electrics starts from £80. That figure is for one extra socket or one switch on a circuit that already exists. A second point, a new circuit from the board, or chasing plaster is priced in writing first.
Do you fit light switches as well as sockets?
Yes. TMB Electrics fits extra sockets and extra or replacement light switches on this domestic visit. Both use the circuit already in the wall. Light fitting and dimmer replacement is a separate job from £50.
Will the power go off while a socket is fitted?
The circuit for the new socket or switch is isolated at the consumer unit while the point is connected. That circuit is restored after TMB Electrics has tested the new point.
Do I get a certificate for a new socket?
Adding a socket or switch on an existing circuit is recorded on a minor works certificate from £80 when the job needs one. Notifiable work is completed under Part P. TMB Electrics leaves that document with you.
Can you add a socket in the kitchen?
Yes. TMB Electrics adds a domestic kitchen socket on this visit when it joins a circuit that already exists. A kitchen electrical refit starts from £1,500 when the work covers the whole kitchen. The written price names which of those you are booking.
