Modern living means more gadgets—and more gadgets mean more sockets. But before you plug yet another extension lead into your Beech home, it’s worth considering a smarter, safer solution: installing additional sockets professionally.
At Wessex Electrical Services, we help homeowners in Beech upgrade their power setup without overloading circuits or creating a fire risk.
Why Extension Leads Aren’t the Answer
✅ They’re convenient, but…
❌ They’re easy to overload
❌ They clutter up floors and create trip hazards
❌ They’re not a long-term fix
Instead of relying on 4-ways and trailing plugs, additional wall sockets give you a tidy, permanent solution.
Where People Add Sockets in Beech Homes:
- Behind wall-mounted TVs and media units
- In bedrooms with extra chargers and lamps
- In home offices (for monitors, printers, routers)
- In kitchens and utility rooms with appliances galore
What’s Involved in Adding a New Socket?
When done properly, adding sockets is quick and minimally disruptive:
- We assess your current wiring and capacity
- Use neat surface trunking or chase cables into the wall
- Install new sockets safely, with RCD protection where required
- Test and certify the work for your records
