Quick response and good workmanship
Thanks
Special thanks, also, to Steve's earnest contribution: not only for his positive and courteous attitude but also the due diligence and care consistently applied in terms of cleaning up after each stage in the whole process. Much admired and greatly appreciated.
Overall, I am very pleased with the entire experience and, as such, would happily recommend TM Hughes and Son to others.

This service lets us fully understand your needs and propose the most efficient and cost-effective electrical solution for your property.
We install all types of sockets and switches, available in various designs and materials to suit all interior design styles.
Sockets We Install
- Type G Sockets: The standard socket, the Type G, is distinguished by its three rectangular pins set in a triangular formation. The inclusion of a grounding pin contributes to safety. Generally, these sockets carry a rating of 13 amps. Single sockets feature one outlet, and double sockets have two. The double-outlet socket remains the most widespread.
- USB Outlets: USB sockets are an increasingly popular choice in many UK homes. Alongside the traditional Type G plug-ins, these sockets feature one or more USB ports, permitting the direct charging of USB-enabled devices like smartphones and tablets.
- Outdoor Sockets: These are designed to withstand the elements and are weatherproof and dust-sealed. They carry a specific IP (Ingress Protection) rating indicating their resilience against various weather conditions.
- RCD Sockets: These sockets have a Residual Current Device (RCD) for additional safety. They offer protection against electric shocks, especially for outdoor appliances with a higher risk of contact with water.
- Floor Sockets: These are installed directly into the floor instead of the wall and are often used in commercial environments or homes where wall sockets would be impractical.
- Smart Sockets: A more recent invention, these sockets can be operated remotely through a smartphone app and programmed to switch on or off at specified times.
Switches We Install
- Single-Pole Switches: The most common switch type, responsible for controlling a single light or gadget from one location.
- Double-Pole Switches: A double-pole switch can control two circuits.
- Two-Way Switches: These switches, unique to the UK, are deployed to govern a single device from two disparate locations, such as switching a hallway light on or off from either entrance.
- Dimmer Switches: Dimmer switches are favoured in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms where lighting adjustment is required.
- Pull Cord Switches: Often located in bathrooms or other wet areas, these switches are triggered by pulling a cord.
- Smart Switches: Allow for remote operation through smartphone applications, home automation systems, or voice-command devices such as Amazon Echo or Google Home.
