About sockets & power
The unglamorous one, and the one people notice every day. Most houses in Merseyside were wired for a fraction of the things we now plug in, which is why there is an extension lead behind every piece of furniture.
Adding outlets is quick, cheap and certificated, and it is worth doing at the same time as any decorating so the making good happens once.
Outside, a properly installed and protected supply to a garden office, a garage or a workshop is a far better answer than an extension lead out through a window.
Common questions
Can you add sockets without replastering the whole wall?
Yes. Cables are chased in and made good locally — you'll need to touch up the decoration around the outlet, not redo the room.
Can I have power in the garden office?
Yes, with a properly rated and protected supply rather than a lead out of a window. We survey the run and the load first.
What guarantees do you offer?
All our windows and doors come with a comprehensive 10-year insurance-backed guarantee, so the cover outlasts the invoice. Roofing and building work carries its own guarantee, and ProPERLA coatings come with a 10-year manufacturer's guarantee on top of ours.
