What socket installation includes

  • Well-planned positions

    We place each socket around the furniture, TV, bed or worktop.

  • The right circuit

    We spur from an existing circuit or run a new one, depending on the load.

  • Choice of fittings

    Double, triple or USB sockets, matching the ones you already have.

  • Wet areas

    In bathrooms and kitchens, at the distance from water set by the REBT.

  • Terrace or garden sockets

    Weatherproof sockets with a cover for outdoor use.

  • Flush or surface-mounted

    Chased in and filled, or in neat trunking if you prefer no building work.

Where and how we add sockets in Ciutat Vella

In 1960s and 70s flats in areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval, each bedroom often has a single socket and the living room runs on extension leads. We chase walls for new sockets within the hours set by the residents' association and clear the dust before stepping onto the landing.

At the end, in homes and premises in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera, we test each socket under load, check earth and polarity and tighten the terminals. Chases are filled with plaster and the faceplates left level and aligned.

On the visit we walk round with you and mark every socket; then we send a detailed written quote, item by item. We also work in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions

01

Socket installation in Ciutat Vella: which areas do you cover?

We do this work in Ciutat Vella, in areas such as El Barri Gòtic, El Raval, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina, La Ribera and La Barceloneta, and also nearby: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.

02

Can sockets be added without chasing the walls?

Yes. We can run the cable in surface trunking or use existing boxes and conduit. During the visit we show you which option looks neatest on each wall.

03

How many sockets can go on one circuit?

The REBT limits the number of sockets per circuit depending on its use. If a room is already at the limit, we run a new line from the consumer unit rather than overload the existing one.

04

Can I have a socket for the washing machine or oven wherever I want?

Yes, but these appliances need their own circuit with the right cable size. We run it from the consumer unit to the point you choose.
