FAQs
What types of electrical outlet services do you offer in Lancing?
We provide a full range of outlet services, including new outlet installations, outlet relocation, replacement of damaged or outdated sockets, upgrade to dual-voltage or weather-proof outdoor outlets, and the addition of specialist sockets such as shaver points and cooker outlets. All solutions are custom-designed to suit your propertyâs wiring layout and your power needs.
Do I really need a professional electrician to replace or add outlets?
Yes. UK wiring regulations (BS 7671) require that any work on fixed wiringâincluding outletsâbe carried out or certified by a qualified person. A professional electrician ensures the circuit is correctly rated, RCD-protected, and safely isolated before work begins. This protects you from electric shock, reduces fire risk, and keeps your home insurance valid.
Can you install modern USB or smart outlets in my home or business?
Absolutely. We stock and fit a wide range of USB-integrated sockets (Type-A and Type-C), Wi-Fiâenabled smart outlets, and energy-monitoring sockets. Weâll assess your existing circuit to confirm it can handle the extra load and advise on the best locations for convenience and Wi-Fi coverage. All smart devices are paired and tested before we leave.
How long does a typical outlet installation or replacement take?
For a like-for-like replacement in an accessible location, the job usually takes 20â40 minutes per outlet. Adding a new outlet on an existing circuit typically takes 1â2 hours, depending on cable routing and wall construction. Larger projectsâsuch as multiple rooms or outdoor socketsâcan span half a day to a full day. Weâll give you a precise timeline during the site survey.
Are your outlet installations compliant with current UK electrical regulations?
Yes. All our work adheres to the latest edition of BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and Part P of the Building Regulations. We issue an Electrical Installation Certificate or Minor Works Certificate on completion and notify Building Control when required. Our electricians are NICEIC-approved, fully insured, and undergo regular training to stay current with regulatory changes.
How much will it cost, and do you provide free quotes?
Simple outlet replacements start from ÂŁ65, while new outlet installations typically range from ÂŁ85 to ÂŁ140 each, depending on wall type, cable length, and outlet specification. USB and smart outlets add ÂŁ15âÂŁ40 per unit.
