Sockets & Switches
We install all types of Sockets and Switches, available in various materials, to match all kinds of decor.
Single Socket
A single socket with three slots – live, neutral, and earth – is the backbone for powering household appliances.
Double Socket
Essentially a two-in-one, these are two standard sockets on one plate, useful in high-demand areas like kitchens or home offices.
Switched Sockets
These sockets are switched, allowing you to disconnect power without removing the plug – a feature that enhances safety and energy conservation.
Unswitched Sockets
A socket without a switch is seen less frequently these days but is still present in some buildings.
USB Sockets
A modern twist on the traditional socket, these come with built-in USB ports for direct device charging.
Fused Sockets
These sockets include a built-in fuse and are typically designed for high-power appliances. They often feature a switch and occasionally an indicator light.
Shaver Socket
Specialised sockets for bathroom usage, designed to safely power electric shavers and often integrated with an isolation transformer for enhanced safety.
RCD Socket
With safety as a priority, these sockets cut off power when they detect an imbalance between the live and neutral wires, preventing electric shocks and fires.
Single-Pole Switch
The classic and most common type of switch controlling one light or a group of lights from a single location.
Double Pole Switch
A step up from the single-control switch, these control two circuits or devices from one spot, allowing simultaneous control of two fixtures.
Two-Way Switch
Two-way switches control one light or a group of lights from two separate locations – perfect for rooms with multiple entrances.
Intermediate Switch
Working in tandem with two-way switches, intermediate switches are used when light control from more than two points is necessary.
Dimmer Switch
Dimmer switches allow for adjusting the light intensity to create the desired ambience.
Pull Cord Switch
Usually found in bathrooms, these are safely operated by a pull cord, ensuring safety in moisture-prone areas.
Remote & Touch-Activated Switch
The future of switches allows operation through touch or remote control, with some even compatible with smartphone apps.
Time Delay Switch
Time Delay Switches turn off after a preset time period, saving energy in communal areas.
Smart Switch
These switches provide remote control via a smartphone app or voice commands using smart home devices. With features like scheduling, dimming, and integration with other smart devices, they can increase energy efficiency and home security.
