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.
Welcome to TM Hughes & Son Electrical Services Ltd. We install Sockets and Switches in Loughton.
Our NICEIC-registered Electricians fit all types of Sockets & Switches, which include:
Sockets
Single Socket
A single socket is ideal for powering one appliance. Common in older homes.
Double Socket
The most widely used socket type in UK homes, offering two outlets from one faceplate.
Switched Socket
Each socket has a dedicated switch, allowing you to turn power on and off.
Unswitched Socket
Always live when in use. These sockets are typically used for appliances that need continuous power, such as fridges and freezers.
Socket with USB Ports
It combines a standard socket with built-in USB-A or USB-C ports, which are ideal for charging phones, tablets, and other devices.
Socket with Surge Protection
Protects plugged-in electronics from sudden voltage spikes.
RCD Protected Socket
Features an integrated Residual Current Device to reduce the risk of electric shocks, which is especially suitable for outdoor or garage use where cables are at more risk of being cut.
Smart Sockets
Wi-Fi-enabled sockets that can be controlled remotely via smartphone apps or voice assistants.
Switches
Single (One-Way) Switch
A simple switch controlling one light from a single location is ideal for most rooms and general lighting.
Two-Way Switch
Allows one light to be controlled from two locations, such as at the top and bottom of a staircase.
Intermediate Switch
Used alongside two-way switches to control a light from three or more locations—commonly installed in large hallways or open-plan spaces.
Rotary Dimmer Switch
Classic turn-dial design that lets you adjust light levels to suit the mood. Available in both one-way and two-way configurations.
Push Dimmer Switch
Turns lights on and off with a press and dims with a twist.
Trailing-Edge Dimmer
The best choice for LED lighting, offering smoother dimming and quieter operation compared to traditional dimmer switches.
Toggle Switch
Vintage-style switch with a distinctive flip action—great for period homes or decorative design schemes.
Rocker Switch
The most common switch in newer properties, with a simple up/down action for quick on/off control.
Fan Isolator Switch
A three-pole switch designed to safely isolate extractor fans in bathrooms or kitchens.
Ceiling Pull Switch
Typically used in bathrooms, this switch keeps electrical components from water and is operated by a pull cord for safety.
Switched Fused Spur
A fused socket with an integrated switch isolates fixed appliances like ovens, boilers, or dishwashers.
Unswitched Fused Spur
Provides constant power to appliances with built-in protection via an internal fuse, which is ideal where switching isn’t necessary.
Touch Switch
A sleek, modern alternative to traditional switches—activated by a simple touch and often backlit for easy use in the dark.
Smart Switch
Allows remote control and scheduling via smartphone apps or smart home systems—perfect for automation and energy saving.
