Adding dedicated plug sockets eliminates overloaded extension cords and brings power directly to where you work, cook or relax. - **Home renovations and room updates:** Whether you are creating a home office in Ashby-de-la-Zouch or fitting out a loft conversion in Swadlincote, we route clean cable runs and position sockets beneath desks, beside beds or near worktops. - **Kitchen and living space upgrades:** Adding extra twin sockets along kitchen splashbacks or behind entertainment units prevents tangled multiway adapters. We supply neat back boxes and wire directly into existing ring or radial circuits. - **Commercial and rental properties:** For rental homes and business units in Burton upon Trent, Derby and Birmingham, we replace broken switches, install robust power points and ensure every outlet complies with current UK electrical standards. ## What happens on the day We arrange our visits to minimise disruption to your daily routine, keeping work areas tidy and turning off the power only for the time necessary to connect and test. - **Planning and preparation:** We confirm your desired outlet positions and assess the route from the nearest power source. Please ensure furniture is moved clear of walls where sockets and switches are being fitted. - **Cable routing and back box fitting:** We carefully isolate the circuit, route new cables through voids or masonry chases, and securely set the back boxes level and flush with your wall surface. - **Termination and safety testing:** After wiring the faceplate, we perform standard instrument tests to verify proper grounding and safe operating limits before reinstating your power supply and cleaning the work area. ## How booking works 1. **Tell us about the job:** Tap Book Now and describe the work in the chat.

Yes. In most cases a single socket can be converted into a double socket by installing an expanded surface box or by cutting back the wall plaster to house a twin back box. We check the existing wiring first to confirm the circuit has sufficient capacity. Rob, Re-energize Electrical. ### Will my power need to be turned off while sockets are installed? Yes, we must isolate the specific electrical circuit at your consumer unit while handling and terminating the wiring. We plan this so the power is off only during the physical connection and testing stages, keeping interruptions brief. Rob, Re-energize Electrical. ### Can you install sockets with integrated USB charging ports? Yes. We fit standard USB-A and USB-C socket faceplates directly into standard back boxes. This allows you to charge phones, tablets and other everyday devices without needing plug-in adapters. ### How do you run cables to new socket positions? Where possible, we route cables under floorboards, above ceilings or behind stud partition walls. In solid brick walls, we chase a neat channel into the plaster and masonry, clipping the cable safely inside conduit before fitting the back box. ### Do socket installations require building control notification? Adding sockets to existing circuits outside special locations such as bathrooms is generally non-notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. We provide a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate for your records. ## Business facts - Service area: Swadlincote, Burton upon Trent, Derby, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Stoke-on-Trent, Wolverhampton, Birmingham - Hours: Calls answered 24/7 - Phone: +447450316338 - Email: rob@re-energizeelectrical.co.uk - Insurance: Public liability £2M, Employers' liability £10M, Professional indemnity £500K - Qualifications: Level 3 Award in the Requirements for Electrical Installations BS 7671:2018, City and Guilds, 2022 ## Book or ask a question - [Book Now](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/#chat) ## Related services - [Lighting installation](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/lighting-installation) - [Consumer unit replacement](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/fuse-board-replacement) - [Electrical fault finding](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/electrical-fault-finding) - [House rewiring](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/services/house-rewiring)
