FAQs
Can I have additional plug sockets installed in my home?
In most cases, yes! Additional sockets can often be installed using your existing electrical circuits, provided they're suitable for the extra load and meet the relevant safety requirements.
We'll assess your existing installation and discuss where you'd like the new sockets positioned. Depending on the layout of your property and the condition of the wiring, we may be able to extend an existing circuit or recommend a new circuit where appropriate.
Whether you need an extra socket behind the television, additional kitchen sockets or more convenient power in a bedroom or home office, we'll help you find a practical solution.
Can you install USB sockets?
Yes! USB sockets can be a useful addition to bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms and home offices, allowing you to charge compatible devices without needing a separate plug-in adaptor.
There are various options available, including sockets with USB-A and USB-C charging ports. We can discuss the different styles and features to help you choose something suitable for your needs.
Can you install outdoor sockets?
Absolutely! Outdoor sockets are a convenient way to provide power to your garden, patio or driveway without having to run extension leads through doors and windows.
They can be useful for:
Garden maintenance equipment,
Pressure washers and car cleaning equipment,
Outdoor lighting and decorations,
Garden entertainment areas,
General outdoor power requirements.
We'll install suitable weatherproof sockets with the appropriate electrical protection, taking into account their location, exposure to the elements and intended use.
Will installing additional sockets damage my walls?
Installing new sockets sometimes involves cutting into walls or lifting floorboards to run cables, particularly if you'd prefer the wiring to be concealed.
Where possible, we'll plan cable routes to minimise disruption and keep the finished installation neat. Surface-mounted wiring may also be an option in some situations, depending on the property and your preferences.
We'll explain what's involved beforehand, including whether any plastering or decorating will be needed afterwards.
Can you just change the fronts of my sockets?
We can replace your existing socket fronts with something more suited to your space. From traditional white plastic sockets to modern brushed metal, matt black or decorative finishes, there are plenty of options to complement your home's interior.
We'll check that your existing wiring and back boxes are suitable for the new accessories, carry out the replacement safely and complete the appropriate electrical checks.
Changing your socket fronts can be a simple and effective way to give a room a fresh look, particularly if you're decorating or renovating.




I could not recommend Volta Electrical highly enough! They installed a new plug socket for me and I am very pleased with the final results! Everything was done very tidily and tested thoroughly. I will definitely be using Volta Electrical again 10/10
