New Sockets and USB Outlets Fitted in Gillingham
The number of sockets in most older Gillingham homes was designed for a time when households had far fewer devices to plug in. Extension leads trailing across rooms are a practical workaround, but they are not a permanent solution, and adding sockets in the right places is a worthwhile improvement.
Sockets and USB outlets are added to properties across Gillingham, routing cables back to the consumer unit properly and installing flush or surface-mounted sockets to suit the room. All work is carried out to current wiring regulations and comes with the necessary electrical certificate. We cover Gillingham and the surrounding Kent area.

Common questions
Socket Installation in Gillingham FAQs
Can you add extra sockets to my Gillingham home?
Yes, our approved engineers install additional sockets throughout Gillingham for homeowners who need more outlets in their kitchen, living room, home office, bedroom, or garage. We can fit standard single or double sockets, USB-A and USB-C combination outlets, and outdoor weatherproof sockets depending on your requirements.
Do I need an electrician to add sockets in Gillingham?
Adding new sockets in Gillingham is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations, which means it must be either carried out by a registered electrician who can self-certify the work, or a building notice submitted to the local authority. Our approved NICEIC registered electricians carry out the installation and provide you with the correct certificate on completion.
How many sockets can be added to an existing circuit in a Gillingham home?
The number of additional sockets that can be added to an existing circuit depends on the total load already on that circuit and the cable rating. In most Gillingham homes, a ring main circuit can accommodate additional sockets within limits, but if the circuit is already heavily loaded or if sockets are needed in a location that cannot be practically connected to the existing ring, we may need to run a new circuit. This is assessed properly before starting.
Can you install outdoor sockets at my Gillingham property?
Yes, our approved engineers install outdoor sockets across Gillingham using weatherproof fittings rated for external use. Outdoor sockets are particularly useful in gardens, on patios, for garden lighting, and in garages or outbuildings. All outdoor socket work is carried out to the correct standard and positioned so the cable routing is safe and properly protected.
How long does socket installation take in Gillingham?
Adding a single socket or a pair of sockets to an existing circuit in a Gillingham property typically takes between one and two hours. Running a new circuit back to the consumer unit, or installing sockets in multiple rooms, will take longer. We will give you an honest time estimate when we confirm the quote.

Brilliant socket installation. The electrician explained circuit capacity before starting, added the sockets we needed, and all were tested and certified before leaving.
Had USB and standard double sockets added in several rooms. Installed on existing circuits where capacity allowed and certified on completion. Great value.
Had extra sockets fitted throughout the house. All NICEIC certified, cables routed neatly, and the USB combination sockets are really practical. Great job.

Serving the Area
Gillingham is the largest town by population in the Medway area, with densely packed residential streets extending from the town centre through Rainham, Wigmore and Hempstead. The ME7 and ME8 housing stock is dominated by Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and post-war housing, all of which regularly need boiler replacements, rewiring and bathroom upgrades. Gillingham's high proportion of rental properties also generates strong demand for landlord safety certificates and emergency callout services.
