Installing an electrical socket can be a simple or complex task, depending on what type of socket you're replacing or adding.

For example, carrying out a like-for-like replacement of any electrical socket is a simple task for a competent DIYer. It involves removing the faceplate of the old socket and fitting the new socket. Socket wiring is simple, and you can take a photo of the wiring in the old socket to make connecting the wires in the new one easier. Before you start, check what depth back box you need for the new socket, as it may differ from the one already installed.

Swapping a single socket for a double socket, adding a plug socket to a room or installing any type of socket in a new location is more complicated and you should always consult a qualified electrician. For example, larger or new holes will need to be cut out of the wall to accommodate a bigger or new backbox. And cables may need to be channelled into the walls to connect new sockets to their source (i.e., the consumer unit, network, TV aerial etc.). Installing multimedia sockets is also a challenging task involving running multiple power source cables to one location.
Electrical sockets don't always have to be installed on walls. Some sockets can be installed on desks and some pop out of worktops. The fitting can be carried out by a competent DIYer, but holes will need to be cut out to accommodate the sockets. So, great care should be taken as there's only one chance to get that right.
