Uses for an Outdoor Socket

Outdoor sockets power lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, pressure washers, garden lights, water features and hot tubs. They save you running extension leads through windows and doors, which can be a trip hazard and a safety risk in wet weather.

More Information

Weatherproof and Protected

We fit outdoor sockets with a weatherproof cover rated for rain and splashes. Each one has RCD protection, which cuts the power fast if there's a fault. Cables are run in a way that protects them from damage, whether fixed to a wall or buried.

Where to Put Your Socket

Most people put an outdoor socket on the back wall of the house near the patio. Others add one on a post in the garden or by the driveway. We suggest a position that keeps the cable run short and puts the socket where you'll use it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do outdoor sockets in Bangor need RCD protection?

Yes. Outdoor sockets must have RCD protection under the wiring regulations. An RCD cuts the power in a fraction of a second if it detects a fault, which lowers the risk of a serious shock. We fit RCD protected outdoor sockets across Bangor as standard.

How long does outdoor socket installation take in Bangor?

Most outdoor socket installations take two to four hours. A socket on the back wall of the house is the quickest job. A socket on a garden post with a buried cable takes longer. We'll give you a clear timescale for your Bangor home with your free quote.

Can I use an outdoor socket in Bangor for an EV charger?

We wouldn't recommend it for regular charging. A standard outdoor socket isn't built for long sessions of heavy load. It's fine for occasional top-ups with the right cable, but a dedicated home EV charger is safer and faster. We install both across Bangor.
