Sockets & Electrical Repairs in South Wales

Not having enough sockets is one of the most common complaints from homeowners across South Wales — and relying on extension leads and multi-plugs is both inconvenient and potentially unsafe when overloaded. Our electricians install additional sockets, replace damaged or outdated outlets, add USB charging points, and carry out general electrical repairs throughout South Wales, working neatly and to a consistently high standard regardless of the scale of the job.

Adding sockets to an existing ring main or radial circuit is a straightforward job for a qualified electrician. We can add sockets in virtually any room — including kitchens, bedrooms, home offices, and garages — with minimal disruption. Where possible, we run cables discretely behind skirtings, within walls, or through floor voids to avoid surface-mounted conduit. All new socket positions are tested and certified to BS 7671 on completion.

USB sockets are an increasingly popular upgrade, allowing you to charge phones, tablets, and other devices directly from the wall without a plug-in adapter. We install dual USB-A, USB-C, and combined USB/standard socket combinations to suit your needs. For home offices and kitchens in particular, these are a practical and tidy solution.

Electrical faults — sparking sockets, frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, or complete circuit failures — require prompt attention from a qualified electrician. Our fault-finding service uses systematic testing and professional diagnostic equipment to locate the root cause of the problem and repair it correctly, rather than simply resetting a breaker and hoping for the best. We issue all necessary certification for remedial work on completion.

What customers say about our sockets work

All 192 reviews ↗

Reviews from customers of our partner electrician, G&M Electrics Ltd, across South Wales.

“Highly recommend Gavin from G&M Electrics. Gavin has just carried out an electrical safety certificate for our house and was excellent from start to finish. He was thoroughly professional, meticulous in his work, and took the time to explain everything clearly and in detail. He also fixed an outside socket that had stopped working some time ago, which was a real bonus. On top of his technical skill, Gavin has a lovely personality — courteous, friendly, and great to chat with. It was a genuine pleasure having him in our home. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him and would happily use G&M Electrics again.”

Sockets & Electrical Repairs FAQs

Can you add more sockets without rewiring?
In most cases yes. We can extend existing ring main or radial circuits to add new sockets with minimal disruption. If your existing wiring is old or already at capacity, we may recommend an assessment first.
Can you install USB sockets?
Yes. USB-A and USB-C charging outlets are available and are a popular upgrade in kitchens, bedrooms, and home offices. We can fit them as standard sockets or as dual sockets with both USB and standard outlets combined.
Do you repair faulty or sparking sockets?
Absolutely. A sparking, burning, or discoloured socket should be treated as urgent. Contact us and we will arrange a prompt visit to diagnose and repair the fault safely.
My circuit breaker keeps tripping — what does it mean?
A repeatedly tripping breaker usually indicates an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance, or a wiring fault. We can carry out fault-finding tests to identify the root cause and resolve it correctly.
Can you add sockets in a garage or outbuilding?
Yes. We install dedicated circuits for garages, sheds, and outbuildings, including RCD-protected sockets and lighting. All external sub-circuits are correctly protected and certified.
How much does it cost to add a socket?
The cost depends on the location and the cable run required. Adding a socket spur from a nearby ring main is typically more affordable than running a new circuit. We provide fixed-price quotes so there are no surprises.
Are double sockets better than single sockets?
In most cases, yes — double sockets provide more flexibility and reduce reliance on extension leads. We can also fit quad sockets (4-gang) in areas where multiple devices are used simultaneously, such as home offices and entertainment setups.
