Adding extra sockets, replacing old fittings, or upgrading to USB outlets are among the most common electrical jobs Smart Choice Sparks carries out across Hampshire and Berkshire. Work is done neatly with concealed cable runs or surface trunking where appropriate, leaving walls ready to redecorate.
Matthew discusses where you need the new outlets and the best route for the cabling.
Cables are run to the new socket positions — chased into walls or surface-mounted in trunking depending on the wall type.
Back boxes and socket faceplates are fitted and connected.
The new circuit or spur is tested and a Minor Works Certificate is issued where required.
It depends on the existing circuit's capacity and the total load you plan to put on it. For significant additions — such as a kitchen ring main extension — Matthew assesses the existing circuit before recommending the best approach, which may be an additional circuit rather than extending the existing one.
Yes, though kitchen socket work has some specific requirements — in particular, sockets should not be positioned directly above or below work surfaces in some configurations, and the kitchen ring main must have sufficient capacity. Matthew assesses the existing ring main and advises on the best approach.
Yes. Smart Choice Sparks fits modern USB-A and USB-C socket faceplates as a direct replacement for existing sockets or as new additions. These are a popular upgrade in bedrooms, home offices, and kitchens.
