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.

Helpful answers

Questions about this service

Can you add a socket anywhere?

Not always. A suitable circuit, safe route, access and location are required. An alternative position may be suggested.

Will the wall need to be chased?

Only for concealed wiring where no alternative route exists. Surface trunking may be a less disruptive option.

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.

Can you install a socket behind a television?

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

Will you test the circuit?

Relevant checks are made for the agreed work before the point is put into service.
