Planning socket installation in Kingshouse

Adding or replacing a socket is routine work, but it has to suit the circuit behind it. A loose, warm or cracked socket, or a room that relies on extension leads, is a reason to ask an electrician rather than to keep adding adapters.

The electrician identifies the circuit and the condition of the existing wiring, then confirms whether a new socket can be added or whether the circuit itself needs work.

• Damaged sockets Heat marks, cracking or a plug that will not stay in are reasons to stop using that socket and have it checked.
• Too few sockets Long-term use of extension leads is a common reason to add sockets on a suitable circuit.
