Small Jobs, Big Benefits
In Kingswood and surrounding areas, we often get calls for quick fixes—things like flickering lights, dodgy sockets, or broken switches. But these “small” issues can actually lead to bigger problems if left unchecked.
Here are five small electrical jobs you really shouldn’t ignore.
1. Replacing Faulty Sockets
If a socket is loose, sparking, or simply not working, it’s more than a nuisance—it’s a safety hazard. Worn contacts can cause overheating, which in turn could lead to fire risks.
Fix it fast: We can replace or repair single sockets in less than an hour.
2. Updating Old Light Switches
Old or discoloured switches don’t just look bad—they might also crack over time, exposing wires. Modern switches are safer and more efficient, especially with dimmer or smart options available.
3. Installing Outdoor Sockets or Lights
Whether you’re setting up garden lighting, powering a pond pump, or just need a place to plug in the mower—outdoor power points are super useful. And they must be IP-rated and RCD protected.
We install outdoor lighting and sockets that meet all modern regulations.
4. Fixing Flickering Lights
This could mean anything from a loose neutral wire to overloaded circuits. It’s one of the most common signs of an underlying electrical issue—especially in older Kingswood homes.
Don’t ignore flickers. They’re your home’s way of saying “check the wiring.”
5. Installing Extra Sockets
Still using extension leads? It’s time for a permanent solution. Overloading circuits with too many adapters can damage devices or even trip your board.
We can add extra sockets where you need them, including USB or fast-charging points.
