Where To Place Electrical Sockets Inside A Garden Room
As standard we will fit four double sockets in areas of your choice.
Each double electrical socket includes 2 x 3 pin electrical inlets and 2 x USB charging points meaning you can run up to 4 appliances per double socket.
You do not have to worry about the location of the electrical sockets before the installation team arrives. Our installation team will consult with you and advice on the best location with regards to your specific layout.
Once the garden room is built and before the internal walls are plaster boarded the fitting team will ask you to mark where you would like them to position all the double sockets.
All wiring is fully concealed out of view within the timber framework. Optional additional double sockets are available to purchase if required. The double sockets are supplied in a white plastic finish. Optional brushed stainless steel finished double sockets are also available at an upgrade cost.

On completion of the garden room wiring and installation of any electrical sockets our fully qualified electrician will visit you and test the electrical wiring and sockets and provide you with a Part P electrical certificate in order for a main connection to be installed to your house.
When installing electrical sockets inside a garden room, it's important to consider the intended use of the garden room and the location of any existing electrical circuits.
Guidelines For Placing Electrical Sockets In A Garden Room
Place electrical sockets near any major appliances or equipment that will be used in the garden room, such as a refrigerator or computer.
Consider the layout of the garden room and place electrical sockets in convenient locations that will allow for easy access to power.
Make sure that any electrical sockets placed near water sources, such as a sink or shower, are properly protected with a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
Make sure that there are enough electrical outlets to meet the needs of the intended use of the garden room and to avoid the use of extension cords.
Consider adding USB charging ports for the easy charging of devices.
It's important to note that all electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician and must comply with the current electrical regulations in the UK, such as the Building Regulations Part P.
It's also important to ensure that any electrical work is properly inspected and certified by a qualified electrician before using the space.
How To Avoid Overloading An Electrical Socket
Use power strips and surge protectors with built-in circuit breakers to prevent overloading the outlet.
Unplug appliances and devices when they are not in use to reduce the overall load on the outlet.
Avoid using multiple extension cords and adapters, as they can increase the risk of overloading the outlet.
Make sure to use the correct wattage light bulbs in lamps and other light fixtures.
Use the correct size and type of power cord for your appliances and devices.
Do not plug in high-wattage appliances, such as air conditioners or space heaters, into an outlet that is already in use.
Be mindful of the total electrical load in a room and spread it out over multiple outlets if necessary.
Remember always to follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe and proper use of all appliances and devices.
