Quick response and good workmanship
Thanks
Paul done a brilliant job of fitting our new boiler. Very polite and kind and managed to do it all within a day.
Great results from this firm who we have not used before. Very nice guys and a flexible approach which I think is important.
Very far and efficient service. Worked around my schedule and explained everything to me clearly as well as all my options on the job. Will definitely use again.
From our initial meeting and throughout his attendance Andy presented an utterly friendly and engaging manner. Equally, his professionalism shone through his steadfast approach to the work in hand concerning the re-wiring of my home. Communication was consistently clear and helpful eg keeping me informed of developments and ongoing progress, very re-assuring indeed.
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.

Excellent service from a professional, knowledgeable and reliable team. Speedy supply of both estimates for urgent remedial work and dates for this to take place. I can't praise them enough!
Andy made re wiring our entire home easy and completed it within a quick timeframe. After a free quote, we worked out the plan for the wiring. Where some things were less possible, Andy called me and discussed. If you’re looking for someone who knows what they’re doing, this is your guy 👌. Cheers again.
The team were very knowledgeable in a tricky job. They squeezed me in. They worked cleanly and were respectful to the surroundings. A great job done well.
Excellent service. Andy reorganised his schedule to fit me in at the last minute which was greatly appreciated. He talked me through the process of what he was doing and was very friendly throughout the visit. Highly recommended.
Had a rewire really good service and friendly electrician. Very happy with the service.
Are you looking for socket and switch installation in Maldon? We can help.
TM Hughes & Son Electrical Services has a solid reputation for delivering quality electrical services. We understand the vital role of well-installed sockets and switches in a home’s safety and functionality.
Sockets & Switches We Install
Our NICEIC-registered Electricians install all types of Sockets & Switches, which are available in various materials and finishes, and all adhere to British Standard BS 1363.
Please contact us for a free no-obligation survey and quote.
Here are the types of Sockets we install
- Single Socket: This is a single socket with three prongs – one for live, one for neutral, and a third for earth the standard socket used for powering most appliances in the UK.
- Double Socket: This is a larger plate with two standard sockets side by side. This is common in many rooms, especially where many appliances or devices need power, like a kitchen or living room.
- Switched Socket: These sockets have switches that allow you to turn off the power to the socket without unplugging the device. This is a safety feature and can also save energy.
- Unswitched Socket: These are sockets without a switch. While less common than switched sockets, you may find these in some homes or businesses.
- USB Socket: A more modern development, standard sockets include one or more USB ports. Handy for charging devices like phones or tablets without a plug adapter.
- FCU (Fused Connection Unit) Sockets: These are outlets with a built-in fuse and are typically used for appliances that require a lot of power, like washing machines or dishwashers. They are often switched, and sometimes include an indicator light to show when the power is on.
- Shaver Socket: This is a special socket found in bathrooms to safely use electric shavers. They are designed to limit the current for safety reasons, given the proximity to water. They often come with an isolation transformer for additional safety.
- RCD (Residual Current Device) Sockets: These sockets are designed to prevent fatal electric shocks and protect against electrical fires by cutting off the power when it detects that the current is not balanced between the live and neutral wire.
And here are the switches we fit
Double Pole Switches: Similar to single pole switches, they control two circuits or devices from one location. They have four terminals to connect to the circuit, allowing for the concurrent control of two fixtures.
Single Pole Switches: These are the most common type of switches. They control a single light or a set of lights from one location.
- Two-Way Switches: These switches allow you to control one light or a set of lights from two different locations. These are useful for rooms with two entrances, where you may want to turn the lights on or off from either entrance.
- Intermediate Switches: These are used with two-way switches for scenarios where control from more than two points is required, such as in a hallway, stairs, or a large room.
- Dimmer Switches: These allow you to adjust the brightness of the lights, providing more control over the room’s ambience.
- Pull Cord Switches: These are often found in bathrooms for safety reasons. The pull cord can safely operate the light switch, despite moisture.
- Smart Switches: These switches allow control over your home’s lighting remotely via a smartphone app or voice commands using smart home devices. Smart switches offer additional features like scheduling, dimming, and even integrating with other smart home devices. They can contribute to energy savings and increase home security by controlling lights even when you’re not home.
- Touch & Remote Control Switches are more modern switches, allowing for touch operation or even remote control. Some can even be controlled through smartphone apps.
- Time Delay Switches: These switches will turn off after a certain period of time, which can help save energy in spaces like communal stairways.
