What happens on the day
Socket installation in Derby follows a set order: agree the outlet positions, get cable to each point, fit the accessories, then test. Only the circuit being worked on loses power, and only briefly.
- Agreeing positions and the circuitYou show where each socket, switch or fused spur needs to go. The consumer unit, the box that houses your breakers and safety switches, is checked so the circuit feeding the new point can carry the extra load.
- Getting cable to the new pointCable reaches the position through the floor void, the loft or inside a stud wall where one is available. On solid masonry a channel called a chase is cut into the plaster, and the metal back box that the socket screws into is set level and flush.
- Fitting the faceplatesEach outlet is connected and screwed to its back box, whether that is a double socket, a single upgraded to a twin, a faceplate with USB charging points or a switched spur for a fixed appliance.
- Meter tests and certificatePolarity, earth continuity and insulation resistance are measured before the power comes back on. A Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate records the readings, and dust and offcuts are cleared away.
