Sockets, garage & outbuilding power
Electrician in Harrogate for Extra Sockets, Garage & Outbuilding Power
The jobs that have been on the list for a year: extra sockets, USB points, and power and lighting out to the garage, workshop or garden room.
Extra sockets, spurs and USB points are some of the most useful small jobs in any house. Added to an existing circuit where it has capacity, or on a new circuit where it doesn’t, they get rid of the extension leads for good.
For garages, workshops and garden rooms, we run an armoured supply from the house, sized for the distance and the load, usually to a small board of its own with sockets and lighting. Attached garages often take only a few hours.
What we fit
- Extra double sockets and USB points
- Spurs for appliances and TVs
- Power and lighting in attached garages
- Armoured supplies to garden rooms and workshops
- Small sub-boards for outbuildings
- Outdoor sockets and commando supplies
How it works
- Check capacity
We see whether existing circuits can take more or a new one is needed.
- Install
Sockets added, or an armoured cable run and a sub-board fitted.
- Test and certify
Everything tested, with a certificate for the work.
Garden rooms and garages in Harrogate
Garden offices and studios have become popular in Harrogate, along with converted garages and workshops. Longer runs to the bottom of a big garden need the cable sized properly, so the power doesn’t drop when a heater or tools are running.
Socket and outbuilding questions
Can you add sockets without new circuits?
Often yes, if the existing circuit has capacity. If not, we’ll recommend a new circuit.
Does a garden room need its own board?
Usually, yes: a small sub-board with its own protection makes the outbuilding safer and easier to manage.
How long does garage power take?
An attached garage with a few sockets and lights is often done in a few hours.
