› Do your tenants need more power socket outlets?
› Tired of using adaptors and extension leads?
› Are your socket outlets generally overloaded?
The increasing demand for today’s modern electrical appliances and equipment means that there is a greater need for additional socket outlets within the home.
Older properties in particular had a standard design which catered for less socket outlets than what is required for today’s usage.
The current BS7671 Wiring Regulations recommend that the following minimum numbers of installed double socket-outlets are used for standard homes:
| Room Type | Smaller Rooms | Medium Rooms | Large Rooms |
| (Up to 12m²) | (12-25m²) | (more than 25m²) | |
| Main Living Room | 4 | 6 | 8 |
| Dining Room | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Single Bedroom | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Double Bedroom | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Bedsitting Room | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Study | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| Utility Room | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Kitchen | 6 | 8 | 10 |
| Garage | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Conservatory | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Hallway | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Loft | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Since the introduction of the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations 2008, it is likely that every socket outlet in a domestic installation will now require RCD protection not exceeding 30mA.

Note: The Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994 require landlords to ensure that their electrical installations and appliances are safe when a tenancy begins, and that it is maintained in a safe condition throughout that tenancy.
One way to ensuring safety is to undertake a regular formal inspection of the fixed wiring together with any supplied electrical appliances such as cookers, kettles, toasters, washing machines and immersion heaters etc.
See Periodic Inspection & Testing, Visual Condition Reports, PAT Testing.
