How It Works
Site Survey & Risk Assessment
We inspect the garden, locate consumer unit access, confirm cable route and recommend the right IP-rated enclosure, earth arrangements and RCD protection.
Professional Installation
Our City & Guilds-qualified electricians fit the socket, run cables either surface or buried in conduit, connect to a protected circuit and install lockable/hooded enclosures where required.
Test, Certify & Advise
We test the circuit, provide the appropriate electrical certificate or report, and give maintenance advice to keep external power safe through winter and wet weather.

Practical outdoor power, fitted to last. We install weatherproof sockets for lawns, sheds, summer houses, patios, hot tubs and garden lighting using IP-rated enclosures (IP44 or higher where needed), lockable hoods and anti-vandal options for high-traffic areas. Installations can be surface-mounted on brickwork, clipped along timber decking or wired into a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit. We always recommend RCD protection and correct earthing arrangements — essential for safe outdoor use.
Certified testing and long-term care. After installation every socket is tested and supplied with the relevant certificate or minor works documentation. We advise on siting to avoid spray from irrigation or pond equipment, recommend fused spurs for appliances like freezers or pumps, and can include outdoor sockets as part of ongoing maintenance contracts or seasonal checks to keep gardens safe year-round.
— FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Outdoor sockets must be housed in a suitable IP-rated enclosure and protected by an RCD or a circuit with RCD protection to reduce electric shock risk. The exact arrangement depends on location and intended use — our electricians assess whether a dedicated circuit, fused spur or extra isolation is required.
