Sockets and switches for your home

---

If you need extra switches or sockets or would like to change to something more modern than white plastic, then Marlborough Electrical Contracting can help!

Whether you are looking to add more sockets to your living room, kitchen or bedrooms, or whether you are looking to add more light fittings or replace existing light fittings but are unsure what to do, simply let Marlborough Electrical Contracting take care of it all for you. If too many appliances and electrical items are plugged into multi-way adapters and extension leads, they are at risking of overheating which is potential fire hazard. 

DIY electrics is the most dangerous DIY in the home that anyone can attempt to dabble in. DIY enthusiasts and unqualified handy men can put homes and loved ones at risk. 

Great care should be taken when installing new sockets into an existing system, as altering the wiring incorrectly can cause overheating and fire risks due to overloading of cables. There is a maximum amount of sockets that can be taken off existing socket circuits and additional measures such as spurs should be used to limit the current through cabling. Sockets in the kitchen and garden are subject to part P regulations and need RCD protection and the right IP rating for outdoor use.
