Electrician question

New sockets ? How hard a job would it be to get a double socket fitted into a room ?

Hi S, If there is access under the floor (the carpet and the floorboards can be lifted) shouldn't be too complicated. If there's no access under the floor, then the wall needs to be channeled in order to run the cables to the new socket. The new socket can be either spurred off of the main ring or wired within the existing ring. Hope this helps! Cornelius Cretu
