Premium Switches, Sockets and Power Points for Modern Homes

Yes. Home offices and media walls benefit from dedicated planning of socket positions, cable routes and circuit capacity before walls are finished. Adding power points retrospectively once a room is decorated is more disruptive and expensive. We advise on socket counts, positions and circuit design as part of renovation and extension projects - ideally coordinated with any rewiring or consumer unit work.

Yes - and this is usually the most cost-effective time to do so. If a rewire or consumer unit upgrade is being carried out, extending or adding circuits for additional sockets can often be incorporated into the same mobilisation with minimal additional disruption.

This typically occurs when a dimmer is not compatible with the LED driver in the fitting. Trailing-edge dimmers are generally more compatible with modern LED bulbs than leading-edge types. If flickering persists after changing the dimmer type, the LED driver or lamp may also need to be reviewed.

Yes. Outdoor sockets must be weatherproof with a suitable IP rating - typically IP66 for exposed positions - and the circuit must include RCD protection at the consumer unit. The cable route should also be appropriate for an outdoor and buried installation where applicable. See our outdoor lighting and exterior power page for more detail.
