About this service

Living in Leeds, we know that older Victorian terraces weren't built with modern technology in mind. If you are relying on daisy-chained extension leads to power your devices, you aren't just creating clutter—you are creating a potential fire hazard. As your local Electrician, I provide professional socket and switch upgrades to get power exactly where you need it safely. At OR Electrics, I don't just screw a box to the wall and hop off. I ensure the circuit can handle the extra load and that your RCD protection is working to keep your family safe from shocks. Whether it involves chasing into solid brick walls in Harehills for a flush finish or installing rapid-charge USB sockets in a modern apartment, I treat your home with respect. I am upfront about the inevitable dust that comes with chasing walls, but I use extraction equipment and won't leave you with a mess to clean up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you put a socket anywhere in my room?

Usually, yes, but it depends on the existing wiring route and wall type. In many Leeds terraces with solid brick walls, we may need to chase into the brickwork or use neat surface trunking. I will always advise on the safest and neatest route before starting.

Is it messy to add new sockets?

If we need to chase wires into solid brick walls, it does create dust. However, at OR Electrics, I use dust extraction equipment to capture most of it and always clean up thoroughly before leaving. I treat your home as I would my own.

Can I replace my white plastic switches with metal ones?

Yes, swapping to chrome or brushed steel is a popular upgrade. However, metal switches must be properly earthed for safety. I will check your wiring includes a valid earth connection (CPC) before fitting them, as this is sometimes missing in older properties.

Are USB sockets worth it?

Absolutely. They free up your 3-pin plugs for other appliances and usually charge your phone or tablet faster than a standard plug adapter. We install high-quality units that don't whine or overheat.
