We can install sockets on most walls, but certain situations require special consideration. Stud walls are straightforward, while solid walls need channelling. We'll advise on the best approach for your property and follow regulations regarding socket placements in bathrooms and other zones.
A standard single socket typically takes 1-2 hours to install if it's near existing wiring. Multiple sockets or complex installations might require several hours or a full day depending on accessibility and cable routing requirements.
