Adding an outdoor socket is one of the most practical upgrades you can make to your home. From lawn mowers and pressure washers to hot tubs and garden lighting, having power outside means no more trailing extension leads through windows or doors.
A proper outdoor socket must be weatherproof (usually IP66 rated), securely fixed, and protected by an RCD or RCBO to keep you safe in all conditions — especially in the unpredictable British weather.
Before fitting the socket, we check your existing electrical system can handle the extra load and ensure everything complies with BS 7671 wiring regulations. Correct cable routing, sealing, and earthing are essential to make sure the installation lasts and stays safe long-term.
If you’re considering an outdoor socket installation, it’s always best to use a qualified electrician. It’s a small job when done properly — but safety, reliability, and compliance make all the difference.
