FAQs
What electrical-outlet services do you provide in Bristol?
We carry out everything from simple socket replacement to full socket-circuit rewires. That includes installing additional outlets in living rooms and kitchens, upgrading old sockets to modern BS 1363 units, fitting RCD-protected or metal-clad outlets, weather-proof outdoor sockets, USB-A/USB-C charging outlets and three-phase or commando sockets for commercial premises. We also fault-find and repair overheating, loose or non-working outlets.
Are your electricians properly qualified and insured?
Yes. All work is performed by City & Guilds trained, NICEIC-approved electricians who are fully compliant with Part P of the Building Regulations. We carry ÂŁ5 million public-liability insurance and issue the appropriate Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate or Electrical Installation Certificate on completion of every job.
How can I tell when an electrical outlet needs to be replaced or upgraded?
Warning signs include outlets that feel warm, are loose, spark when a plug is inserted, show scorch marks, trip the breaker, or have no RCD protection. Outlets that are more than 25 years old, still use round pins or lack shutters should also be upgraded for safety and compliance with current regulations.
Can you install modern USB or smart Wi-Fi controlled outlets?
Absolutely. We regularly supply and fit USB-A/USB-C combo sockets for fast device charging as well as smart Wi-Fi or Zigbee outlets that integrate with Alexa, Google Home or Apple HomeKit. All smart devices we install are BS 1363 compliant, CE marked and properly rated for the circuit load.
How long does a typical outlet job take and what does it cost?
A straight like-for-like socket swap usually takes 30â45 minutes. Adding a completely new outlet, which involves extending the ring or creating a spur, typically takes 1â2 hours depending on cable routing and wall construction. Prices start at ÂŁ69 + VAT for a single replacement outlet and from ÂŁ120 + VAT for a new outlet; we provide free, fixed-price quotations before any work begins.
Do you offer a 24/7 emergency call-out for outlet-related faults?
Yes. Our emergency team is on call day and night across Bristol. We aim to reach most locations within one hour, isolate any dangerous circuitry, make the outlet safe and carry out either a temporary or permanent repair. An out-of-hours surcharge applies, but we always confirm costs before attending.
