Welcome to TM Hughes & Son Electrical Services Ltd. We install Sockets and Switches in Grays and the surrounding areas.
Everyday life depends on a consistent and safe supply of electricity. Whether you’re a busy parent who needs extra charging points or someone concerned about outdated wiring, upgrading your sockets and switches can make a big difference.
The Benefits Of Upgrading
Upgrading your Sockets & Switches provides several benefits:
Improved Safety
Old sockets and switches often have worn components or damaged wiring, which increases the risk of electrical faults and even fire.
Modern Sockets and Switches are built to current safety standards and include added protections such as:
- Built-in RCD protection (Residual Current Devices)
- Tamper-proof for child safety
- Flame-retardant materials
Compliance with Regulations
Electrical regulations evolve. Suppose your property has not been updated in years. In that case, upgrading switches and sockets can help bring your electrical system up to the latest standards—necessary for insurance, renting, or selling a property.
Modern Features
Today’s sockets and switches offer innovative, convenient options, such as:
- USB and UDB-C charging ports
- Wi-Fi or intelligent app control
- Dimmer switches with smoother operation
- Illuminated switches or built-in timers
Enhanced Appearance
Upgrading allows you to refresh the look of your home. Modern sockets and switches come in various finishes (chrome, black nickel, brushed steel, etc.), which can match your interior design.
Increased Usability
Older properties often lack enough sockets for today’s tech-heavy lifestyles.
Upgrading gives you the chance to:
- Add more Sockets in better locations
- Position light switches in more convenient locations
- Combine sockets with network or media connections
- Enhance control
- Install more practical configurations (e.g. double sockets instead of singles)
Socket & Switch Installation Services
We offer single- and double-socket installations on domestic and commercial properties. Smart switches and dimmers can also be fitted so you can control your sockets and lights through your smartphone. Before installing your new Sockets, we’ll check your existing wiring to confirm it’s in good enough condition. We’ll let you know if anything needs attention and plan and price the safest, most cost-effective solution.
