Choose your starting point
What do you want to add?
The equipment, the positions and the existing circuits define the installation. You do not need to specify the technical design yourself.
Your next step
More usable sockets and switches
Tell us where power is missing and what will be connected. The existing circuit and the practical cable route affect the available options.

What the job involves
Define the work and its connection to the existing installation.
The intended equipment and the existing circuit determine the work behind the fitting. Agree routes, accessories and associated tasks so the quotation describes the complete installation.
The scope, access and basis of the price are discussed before work is agreed.
Get a quoteStart with the details you know. Max can clarify the rest.
Confirm the intended use and equipment requirements.
Describe what you want to power and where. Manufacturer information helps define a dedicated equipment supply.
Assess the relevant existing circuit and protective arrangements.
The intended addition needs to work with the existing installation. A new fitting alone does not establish circuit suitability.
Discuss positions, cable routes and visible finishes.
Discuss finished surfaces, concealed routes and the position of accessories before assuming how cables will be installed.
Agree who supplies fittings and any associated building work.
State whether you or PB Electrical supplies the accessories. Clarify plastering, decoration and other associated tasks.
Install, test and provide the documentation appropriate to the work.
The completed work is checked and the applicable electrical records are provided. Agree any notification route where required.
Before the appointmentUseful decisions to discuss with Max.
Before the appointment

Start with the equipment and how the space will be used.
Testing and certification matched to the work.
A new circuit and a small addition to an existing circuit can require different documentation. We explain the appropriate installation certificate or minor works record and any applicable notification. Keep equipment instructions and electrical records together.

What affects the quoteEquipment, access and the details Max needs.
Understand the quote
What affects the scope and price?
The visible fitting is only part of the job. Cable route, circuit suitability and the need for a new supply can matter more than the number of sockets. A clear quote explains the installation work as well as the accessories.
The quote takes account of:
existing circuit suitability; route length and access; accessory or equipment specification; associated work and notification.
Make your initial enquiry specific.
Describe what you want to power, where it will go and whether walls or floors are already finished.
- List the fittings or equipment and intended positions.
- Share the equipment specification where available.
- Mention planned building work and decorating.
- Tell us whether you own the property or need permission for alterations.
Practical answers
Questions before you book.
Can you add one extra socket?
Yes, additional sockets are within our installation work. The existing circuit and proposed position need to be assessed.
Ask Max about thisCan you wire a supply for air conditioning?
Yes. Share the equipment specification and installation date so the electrical supply can be planned with your air-conditioning installer.
Ask Max about thisCan I supply the fittings?
Discuss them before booking. The specification and compatibility need to be checked, and who supplies the fittings and handles any product warranty should be agreed.
Ask Max about thisWhich electrical work needs Building Regulations notification?
No. The requirement depends on the type and location of work. For example, a new circuit and a consumer-unit replacement in a dwelling in England are notifiable.
Ask Max about thisCan you add a socket without damaging all the decoration?
The available cable route and wall construction determine the options. Surface routes may reduce disturbance where concealed access is difficult, while hidden wiring can require opening finishes. Send room photos and explain what is already decorated so access and making-good responsibilities can be discussed.
Ask Max about thisWill new kitchen equipment need its own electrical circuit?
That depends on the equipment instructions, its electrical demand and the existing installation. Share the exact model and installation information before buying or booking connection. A nearby socket or spare-looking breaker position does not establish that the proposed supply is suitable.
Ask Max about thisWhat information do you need for an electrical installation quote?
Describe the room, the equipment or extra points needed, and your postcode. Add plans or product links where available and explain whether walls or floors are being opened. You can enquire before every detail is settled; identify the decisions still outstanding so the scope can be developed.
