No special manual skills are required, but a sound knowledge of electrical work is an advantage.
Working with electricity is potentially dangerous, and you should not attempt to convert or add sockets unless you have the necessary experience and knowledge. If in doubt, enlist the help of a professional electrician.
Always turn off the electricity supply at the consumer unit when working on electrical installations. Wear eye protectors and gloves when using a club hammer and bolster.
An adequate number of electrical sockets will eliminate the inconvenience and expense of extension leads.
To increase the number of sockets in your home either convert existing single-socket outlets to doubles or fit additional sockets. Single sockets will be either 'flush', i.e. they don't stick out from the wall, or 'surface-mounted', i.e. boxes that do stick out a little bit from the wall.
