Lighting & Sockets in Sutton Coldfield

Lighting, extra sockets and outdoor lights in Sutton Coldfield. Kitchens, extensions, driveways and gardens, fitted neatly and tested.

Most of the smaller electrical jobs in Sutton Coldfield come down to two things: not enough sockets in the right places, and lighting that does not suit the room. Houses built between the wars had a handful of sockets per room at most, and even newer houses rarely have enough for how kitchens, home offices and living rooms are used now.

Extra sockets are added from the right circuit, not spurred off whatever is nearest, and positioned where you actually need them: either side of the bed, along the kitchen worktop, and wherever the extension lead has been living under the rug.

Lighting makes a bigger difference to a room than almost anything else for the money. Kitchen and extension lighting in particular: downlights laid out properly, under-cabinet lighting, dimmers that dim smoothly rather than buzz, and lighting controlled from the doors people actually use.

Outside, Sutton's driveways and long gardens make outdoor lighting worthwhile: security lights on the drive, path lights down the garden, and weatherproof sockets for the lawnmower and the pressure washer.

Everything is fitted neatly, tested, and certificated where the regulations require. A photo of the fuse board with the cover on, and a line about what you want doing, is enough to give you a sensible idea of the job before anyone visits.

Lighting & Sockets — your questions

Can you add sockets without a rewire?

Usually, as long as the circuit can take them, which we check first.

How many downlights does a kitchen need?

It depends on the room and the ceiling height; we lay them out so there are no dark corners.

Why do my dimmers buzz?

Usually a mismatch between the dimmer and the lamps. Changing the dimmer normally fixes it.

Can you fit an outdoor socket?

Yes, weatherproof and protected, usually on the back wall or near the drive.

How long do small jobs take?

Often a few hours. We can group several small jobs into one visit.

Which areas do you cover?

The whole of Sutton Coldfield, including Boldmere, Four Oaks, Walmley and Mere Green.
