Terraces and city-centre flats
In terraces with suspended timber floors, cables for new sockets can often be run under the floorboards, which keeps disruption down. In flats with solid floors and concrete ceilings, routes are more limited.
Smart switches and dimmers are popular upgrades. Some need a neutral wire at the switch, which older wiring may not have – your electrician will check.
