Additional Sockets and Power Supplies
Extra sockets, appliance circuits and domestic power supplies
Modern homes often need more usable power points than the original layout provided.
Additional sockets and dedicated supplies should be planned around circuit capacity, cable routes, protective devices and the condition of the existing installation.

What Additional Sockets and Power Supplies Includes
Additional sockets, dedicated circuits and domestic power supplies.
The exact scope depends on the existing installation, the property or site conditions and the customer-safe information confirmed before work begins.
- Additional sockets
- USB outlet replacement
- Appliance supplies
- Cooker and hob circuits
- Home-office power
- Outdoor and garage supplies
New outlets must not overload an unsuitable circuit. The existing installation is checked before the work is agreed.
Why the service may be needed
Too many extension leads
Fixed outlets can be safer and tidier than long-term adapters.
New appliances
Cookers, hobs and showers may need dedicated circuits.
Changed room use
Home offices, utility rooms and garden buildings often need better power layouts.
Common applications
Extra power points can support everyday use, renovations and equipment changes.
- Home offices
- Kitchen appliances
- Outdoor sockets
- Garage supplies
- Wall-mounted TVs
- Worktops with too few outlets
New outlets must not overload an unsuitable circuit. The existing installation is checked before the work is agreed.
Power supply options
Additional outlets
Extra sockets can often be added where circuit design and routes are suitable.
Dedicated circuits
Higher-load equipment may require its own circuit and protective device.
External supplies
Outdoor and outbuilding supplies need equipment suited to the environment.

Additional Sockets and Power Supplies Questions and Answers
Can sockets be added anywhere?
Not always. Circuit capacity, routes and wall construction determine what is practical.
Do outdoor sockets need special equipment?
Yes. External equipment must suit its environment and have appropriate protection.
Can a cooker share a socket circuit?
High-load appliances often require dedicated circuits; the equipment rating must be checked.
