Chessington Road may need a new circuit. A spur is used only when the tests allow it. TMB Electrics, based in Banstead, adds sockets in Ewell after tests show whether the new point can join a circuit or needs its own. West Ewell around Chessington Road usually needs its own. ## Ewell socket price Sockets in Ewell are priced for the points named, after a test decides between a spur and a new circuit. Chessington Road new circuits cost more than a London Road spur, and the quote says which. - Socket installation: from £80 - A new circuit is a different figure from a spur on a healthy circuit. - Faceplates that were not named are not swapped in on the day. - Making good of decoration is outside the electrical figure. ## Socket and switch installation across Ewell We serve Ewell from our base in Banstead. - High Street - Church Street - Kingston Road - London Road - West Street - Chessington Road - Ewell Court - Stoneleigh ## What happens on the day A new socket is not assumed to be a spur. The circuit is tested first. Around Chessington Road the usual answer is an added circuit, because those streets want extra circuits rather than a rewire. London Road and Ewell Court rooms may join an existing circuit when the tests allow it. The faceplate goes where you mark it, clear of High Street finishes that must stay. ### Test before the faceplate The circuit that might feed the new socket is tested. If it has no capacity, the socket is not added to it. Chessington Road then takes a new circuit instead. ### Mark clear of finishes On the High Street and Church Street the faceplate sits clear of finishes that must stay. A chase through protected fabric is not started so a socket can move a few inches. ### Fit and test the point The socket is fitted at the mark and tested. A USB faceplate or a specific finish is used only when the quote names it. The certificate matches the work actually done. ## Ewell socket questions ### Why might Chessington Road not get a simple spur? Those streets generally need extra circuits. If the tests show the existing circuit is full, the socket goes on a new circuit instead of an overloaded one. ### When can a London Road socket join the circuit already there? When the tests show that circuit can take it. If they do not, we stop and describe a new circuit rather than adding the point anyway. ### Will you chase a listed High Street wall for one socket? Not through a finish that has to stay. The position moves to a spot the fabric allows, or the job waits. ### Are USB sockets the default? No. A plain socket is fitted unless the quote names a USB or a metal finish. Say so before the day if you want that plate. ### Does this include the kitchen appliance points? Only if they are the points named. A hob and oven refit is the kitchen job, not a single socket visit. ## Other services in Ewell - [Electrician in Ewell](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/electrician-ewell): Ewell electrician for carefully scoped domestic work, with electrical condition and heritage constraints treated separately. - [Socket and switch installation (all areas)](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/services/socket-switch-installation-domestic): Socket and switch installation from TMB Electrics starts from £80.
