🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting a USB socket yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Screwdriver
- Voltage tester
- USB socket
📐 Installation tips
- Turn off at consumer unit
- Test socket is dead
- Photo existing wiring
- Connect to same terminals
- Test all USB ports
⚠️ Important points
- Power OFF essential
- Same wiring as standard socket
- Buy quality sockets

💡 Pro tip: Check the backbox depth - some USB sockets are deeper than standard ones. If the backbox is too shallow, the socket won't sit flush.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it just a straight swap?
Yes - USB sockets replace standard double sockets directly. Same wiring, same backbox. Take the old one off, put the USB one on. Done.
USB-A or USB-C?
Modern sockets often have both. USB-C for newer phones and fast charging, USB-A for older devices. We can advise on what suits your needs.
Are all USB sockets the same quality?
No - cheap ones can be slow or unreliable. We fit good quality sockets that charge properly. Worth paying a little more for something you'll use daily.
Where should I fit USB sockets?
Bedside tables, kitchen worktops, living room near the sofa. Anywhere you regularly charge phones, tablets, or other USB devices.
