Our Process
Our professional sockets and switches process in Birmingham ensures exceptional results every time.
Complete sockets and switches Process
Accessory Assessment Visit
We examine your existing sockets and switches, identify safety concerns like loose fittings or missing earth connections, check circuit capacity for additional outlets, and discuss your specific requirements whether it's USB sockets, dimmers, or complete room upgrades.
Power Isolation Planning
We schedule work around your availability and plan which circuits need isolation. For occupied homes, we work room by room to maintain power elsewhere, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily routine throughout the installation process.
Professional Installation Work
Our electricians install deep back boxes for secure mounting, run new cables where needed, ensure proper earthing on all metal accessories, and fit quality switches and sockets that withstand years of daily use without loosening or failing.
Circuit Testing Verification
Every socket and switch is tested for correct polarity, earth continuity, and RCD protection. We verify secure connections, check switch operation, and ensure USB charging ports deliver proper voltage before restoring power to each circuit.
Making Good and Cleanup
We fill any chases, match existing décor where cables were run, vacuum all dust, and dispose of old accessories responsibly. Your walls are left ready for immediate decoration, with no mess or damage to surrounding areas.
Documentation and Guarantee
You receive minor works certificates for insurance and building control purposes, plus clear guidance on operating dimmer switches or USB outlets. We stand behind every installation with responsive aftercare if you need adjustments or additional work.
You'll enjoy built-in USB charging without hunting for adapters, whilst dimmer switches let you control lighting ambience and reduce energy bills. Modern double sockets replace single outlets in older Birmingham properties, eliminating dangerous extension lead tangles that cause overheating. Properly installed accessories with secure back boxes and correct earthing prevent loose connections that spark or fail prematurely. You're also protecting your family because our installations include proper RCD protection and comply with 18th Edition standards, something DIY replacements often miss, leaving your home insurance potentially invalid if faults occur.

“Had them fit USB sockets in every bedroom and the kitchen. No more fighting over chargers with the kids. They explained why the old single sockets needed replacing and showed me the loose wiring behind one that could have been dangerous. Proper job done.”
