Questions
Can you add USB sockets?
Yes. Swapping a double socket for a USB double socket is £85.
Will new sockets mean chasing walls?
Usually the cable goes in the wall and we make good around the box. Decorating is not included. If chasing is not practical, we talk you through neat surface options first.
Is an extension lead in the kitchen a problem?
Kettles, toasters and coffee machines draw a lot of current. On one extension block they can overheat the plug and the socket. A hot plug or scorch marks mean stop using it and call us.
