Power points & accessories
Sockets and switches in London
Add, move, replace or repair electrical accessories with cable routes, circuit capacity and final finish considered before work begins.
Service overview
The neatest socket installation begins with the route behind it.
Adding a socket may be straightforward or may involve floor access, wall chasing, circuit extension and testing. The route and existing circuit condition determine the real scope.
Bastian Electrical handles extra sockets, switch alterations, damaged accessories, appliance supplies and practical layout improvements for homes and smaller premises.
Surface-mounted routes can reduce disruption, while concealed wiring gives a different finish but normally creates making-good work.
USB and smart accessories contain electronics and can vary significantly in quality, depth and compatibility. Product choice and back-box space should be checked before installation.

Questions about this service

Can you replace a single socket?
Yes, smaller repairs and replacements are welcome.
Are USB sockets worth installing?
They can be convenient, but product quality, charging standards and replacement life should be considered.

Often, yes, with the cable route and associated data or aerial needs planned together.
