Most older homes in Cardiff were wired when a household had a handful of appliances. Now there are phones, laptops, TVs, games consoles and kitchen gadgets in every room, and the result is extension leads daisy-chained behind furniture. That is untidy, and overloaded leads are a real fire risk.

Jorge adds sockets where you actually need them, whether that is by the bed, at desk height in a home office or above a kitchen worktop. We check the circuit you are adding to can safely take more, fit USB sockets for charging, and hide cables in the wall wherever the construction allows.

Signs you need it

You rely on extension leads or adaptors in several rooms
Sockets are in awkward places, such as behind fixed furniture
You work from home and need more power at your desk
You want USB charging points by the bed or in the kitchen
Plugs feel loose or sockets are cracked or discoloured

What's included

New double sockets

We add double sockets to existing circuits where the circuit can safely take them, positioned at heights and locations that suit how you use each room.

USB and USB-C sockets

We fit sockets with built-in USB-A and USB-C charging points, so phones and tablets charge without bulky plug adaptors taking up a socket.

Circuit checks

We check the circuit you are adding to is in good condition and can take the extra load, and advise on a new circuit where it cannot.

Neat finish and testing

Cables are chased into walls or run in neat trunking where chasing is not practical, then tested before we issue a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate.

Questions about extra sockets & usb sockets in Port Talbot

Do you do extra sockets & usb sockets in Port Talbot?

Yes. Jorge carries out extra sockets & usb sockets across Port Talbot, including Aberavon, Sandfields, Baglan, Taibach, Margam and Cwmafan. We are based in Cardiff, about 27 miles from Port Talbot. Call 029 2000 1399 or send the form for a free, no-obligation quote.

Can a socket be added anywhere?

Most of the time, yes. The main limits are the existing circuit's condition and capacity, cable routes through the building and special locations such as bathrooms, where sockets must be a set distance from the bath or shower. We check all of this before confirming positions.

Will there be a lot of mess?

Chasing cables into a wall creates some dust and leaves a channel that needs filling and decorating. We cover floors and furniture and clean up afterwards. Where you would rather avoid redecorating, surface trunking is an option, and in some rooms cables can be dropped from above.

Are USB sockets worth it?

For most people, yes, particularly by beds, in kitchens and in home offices. They free up the plug socket for other things and remove the need for separate chargers. Modern USB-C sockets charge many phones and tablets quickly. We fit quality brands that are designed for continuous use.

What affects the cost of adding sockets?

The number of sockets, whether they can go on an existing circuit, the wall construction, how far cables need to run and whether you want cables chased in or run in trunking. Several sockets in one visit is usually better value than adding them one at a time.

I had a number of small electrical jobs for Jorge to do. He completed everything quickly, professionally and to a high standard. Jorge was very polite and helpful and clearly takes pride in his work. I would 100% call him if I need more electrical work doing.

I have been a private landlord 25 years and can count the reviews I've left on one hand. I've known Jorge several years. He is a trusted professional, timely and charges competitive rates.

We initially asked Jorge to help us after being let down by another electrician, and he was only too happy to help make some bad work safe... Jorge always explains what is going on and helps us understand more about how electrics work. He is thorough, leaves no mess behind and very reliable.
