New circuits, sockets & planned upgrades
Electrical Installations in Ealing (W5 & W13)
Planning additional sockets, a new electrical circuit or alterations for a renovation? We carry out planned electrical installation work across Ealing, including new power supplies, extra outlets and targeted wiring upgrades.
This service is for planned additions and alterations rather than emergency faults or a complete house rewire. We look at what you want to power, the existing installation, cable routes and circuit requirements so the work can be scoped properly before installation begins.
Planned electrical work
New Electrical Installations & Upgrades
Electrical installation work can range from one additional socket to new wiring for a kitchen, extension or appliance. The right approach depends on the intended load, the condition and capacity of the existing installation and whether a suitable circuit is already available.
New electrical circuits
Planned circuits for new loads, appliances, extensions and areas where the existing arrangement is not suitable for the proposed demand.
Additional sockets
Extra socket outlets and power points positioned around how the room will actually be used, subject to the existing circuit and installation.
Electrical alterations
Targeted wiring changes during kitchens, extensions and refurbishments without automatically turning the project into a whole-house rewire.
Dedicated power
Planned New Circuits for Homes & Renovations
A new circuit may be needed when a project introduces additional electrical demand or when extending an existing circuit would not be appropriate. Typical examples include electrical work for a kitchen renovation, extension, new appliance or another dedicated power requirement.
Before a new circuit is installed, the proposed load and the existing electrical installation need to be considered. This can include the available supply, consumer unit arrangement, protective devices, cable route and the environment in which the wiring will be installed.
Installing a new circuit in a dwelling is within the scope of Part P requirements in England, so the correct Building Regulations route and electrical documentation need to match the work undertaken.
More useful power points
Additional Sockets & Power Outlets
Modern rooms often need more usable socket positions than older layouts provide. We can assess requests for additional sockets in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, home offices and other suitable areas, whether you need one extra outlet or several points as part of a refurbishment.
The existing circuit matters. Depending on the installation and the proposed locations, the work may involve an alteration to a suitable existing circuit or a different arrangement. We avoid assuming that every extra socket should be installed in the same way.
Where you are changing a room layout, it is useful to decide furniture, appliance and worktop positions before the electrical work begins so sockets are placed where they will actually be useful.
Kitchens, extensions & refurbishments
Electrical Upgrades & Alterations During Renovations
Renovation work is often the best time to plan new power points and wiring because cable routes and room layouts can be considered before the final finishes go in. We can carry out targeted electrical alterations for kitchens, extensions and other home improvements.
This can include relocating or adding socket positions, wiring new appliance supplies and adapting specific areas to suit the proposed layout. Where more extensive replacement of the property's existing wiring is required, that becomes a different scope of work.
For extensive replacement of existing wiring, see our House Rewiring Ealing page. If the project specifically requires a fuse board upgrade, see Consumer Unit Replacement Ealing.
A clear scope before work starts
Our Electrical Installation Process
Discuss the project
Tell us what you want to add or change, the property location and whether the work is part of a kitchen, extension or wider renovation.
Assess the existing installation
We consider the proposed load, existing circuits, consumer unit, access and practical cable routes before confirming the electrical scope.
Carry out the installation
The agreed sockets, circuits, wiring or power supplies are installed around the project requirements and the existing property.
Inspect, test & hand over
The completed work is inspected and tested as appropriate, with the relevant electrical documentation provided where required for the work undertaken.
Electrical safety & paperwork
Testing, BS 7671 & Part P
New electrical installation work should be designed, installed, inspected and tested with the applicable requirements of BS 7671 in mind. The exact tests and documentation depend on whether the work is a new circuit or an alteration or addition to an existing circuit.
For domestic properties in England, Part P of the Building Regulations also applies to electrical installation work. Certain work is notifiable, including the installation of a new circuit. Other additions and alterations are not automatically notifiable simply because fixed wiring is changed, so the route depends on the actual scope and location of the work.

Planning your quote
What Affects Electrical Installation Cost?
Cost varies with the number of sockets or circuits, the load involved, cable routes, access, wall and floor construction, the existing consumer unit and how much alteration is required. A straightforward additional outlet and a new dedicated circuit serving a renovated kitchen are very different jobs.
For a useful initial discussion, send us the Ealing postcode, what you want installed, the proposed positions and photos of the relevant area and consumer unit where possible. If the work is part of a renovation, a room or kitchen layout can also help define the scope.

Frequently asked questions
Electrical Installation Ealing FAQs
Can you install additional sockets in an existing room?
Yes. The existing circuit, proposed socket positions and condition of the installation need to be considered first. The work can then be planned around the property and intended use.
When might I need a new electrical circuit?
A new circuit may be appropriate for a new load, appliance, extension or renovation where the existing circuit arrangement is not suitable. The decision depends on the proposed demand and the existing installation.
Is adding a socket always notifiable under Part P?
No. In England, not every addition or alteration to an existing circuit is automatically notifiable. New circuits are notifiable, and additional rules apply to certain work in special locations. The correct route depends on the actual job.
Can you do electrical work during a kitchen or extension renovation?
Yes. Planned electrical alterations can be coordinated with the proposed room layout, appliance positions and other renovation work so the required wiring is installed at the appropriate stage.
Is this the same as a full house rewire?
No. This page covers planned additions and targeted alterations. If the existing wiring needs extensive replacement throughout the property, see our House Rewiring Ealing service.
Will the electrical work be tested and certified?
The completed work should be inspected and tested as appropriate, with electrical documentation matched to the scope of the installation or alteration. The exact certificate and Building Regulations route depend on the work carried out.
Do I need an EICR before adding a new circuit?
Not automatically. An EICR is a separate condition report for an existing installation. The existing electrical system still needs to be suitable for the proposed work, and further inspection may be appropriate depending on its condition.
What if I need new lighting rather than sockets or power circuits?
For ceiling lights, downlights, exterior lighting and other dedicated lighting work, visit our Lighting Installation Ealing page.
