Socket Installation in Bolton

Socket installation in Bolton for homes that need more power points. ANR Electrics adds new sockets, swaps singles for doubles and fits USB sockets, with neat wiring and a full test at the end.

Why Extension Leads Are Not a Long Term Fix

Extension leads are fine for short use, but plugging in heaters, kettles or several devices at once can overload them. Plugging one lead into another makes it worse. New sockets put power where you need it, so you are not running leads across floors where people can trip.

USB Sockets and Different Finishes

A USB socket lets you charge phones and tablets without a plug adaptor. Some have USB-C ports for faster charging. You can also choose sockets in brushed steel, chrome or black to match your room. We fit them in place of your old ones or in new positions.

Where Sockets Can and Cannot Go

The wiring rules limit where sockets can go. In a bathroom, standard sockets must be at least three metres from the bath or shower. Kitchen sockets should be kept clear of the sink and hob. We plan each position with you so it is safe and useful.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does socket installation take in Bolton?

Swapping an existing socket usually takes under an hour. Adding a new socket from a nearby circuit usually takes a couple of hours, depending on how the cable has to be run. Chasing cable into a plastered wall takes longer than running it under a floor. We tell you before we start.

Can you add a socket to a room in Bolton without much mess?

Yes, in many rooms we can. Where there is space under the floor or above the ceiling, we run cable there and only cut a small hole for the back box. If the cable has to go into the wall, there will be some plaster damage that needs making good.

Can you fit USB sockets in Bolton bedrooms and kitchens?

Yes. A USB socket fits in the same space as a standard double socket in most cases, so we can usually swap it straight in. It gives you normal plug sockets plus USB ports. It is a good option by beds, desks and kitchen worktops where you charge devices.
