? Need More Plug Sockets? Your Local Cambridge Electrician Can Help
Running out of plug sockets at home? If your kitchen’s a jungle of extension leads, or you’re always unplugging one thing to use another, it might be time to add some more.
At Titan Electrical Ltd, we help homeowners and landlords across Cambridge and surrounding villages upgrade their electrical setup safely and neatly — including installing additional sockets where you actually need them.
? Why Add Extra Sockets?
Here’s why so many people ask us to install extra sockets:
- Avoid overloading plug adaptors and extension leads
- Power new appliances in kitchens, garages, or utility rooms
- Improve layout when moving furniture or redecorating
- Charge devices more conveniently
- Make rooms safer for children or elderly relatives
As a qualified Cambridge electrician, we can extend existing circuits, add new ones, or relocate sockets for better use of space — all to current UK standards.
? How We Install New Sockets
Every job is a little different, but here’s how we normally work:
- Assess the best location for your new socket
- Check the circuit is suitable to extend
- Chase wiring into walls (if you want a hidden finish), or surface-mount for easier access
- Test everything fully and issue certification
We always use quality fittings and leave your home tidy. If plastering is required after chasing, we can recommend local trades — though we don’t offer plastering ourselves.
Need USB sockets, smart switches or outdoor sockets? Just ask — we fit a wide range of modern options.
? How Much Does It Cost to Add a Socket?
Socket prices vary slightly depending on what’s involved. As a general guide:
- £90 per socket (if part of a multi-socket job)
- If it’s just one socket and awkward to access, we may quote by time — typically £60–£70 per hour
- Complex jobs (e.g. running cable through difficult areas) may require a visit to quote accurately
We’ll always be upfront with pricing, and there’s no charge for coming out to assess general installation jobs.
?? Why Not to DIY Socket Installation
Adding a socket might seem simple, but doing it incorrectly can lead to:
- Fire risk from overloaded or poorly terminated cables
- RCD/RCBO faults and nuisance tripping
- Non-compliant installations that could void insurance or fail inspections
That’s why it’s best to use a qualified electrician near you who understands current regulations. At Titan Electrical Ltd, we’re NICEIC-approved and insured, and we test every circuit we touch.
