Electric11 completed an outdoor lighting installation in Attleborough as part of a wider exterior electrical upgrade. The work added six customer-supplied lights, replaced three IP-rated double sockets and three light switches, installed a fused spur and included minor trenching for the cable route.

The customer wanted more practical access to lighting and power around the rear patio and exterior of the property. The existing sockets and switches required replacement, while six new customer-supplied lights needed connecting across the rear elevation.
Outdoor electrical work must account for moisture, changing temperatures and physical exposure. Electric11 therefore used IP-rated accessories in the exposed areas and planned the routes around doors, rendered walls, brickwork and rainwater pipes. This provided the required coverage without detracting from the property’s exterior.
The rear elevation combined several different surfaces and architectural features. Cable routes needed to pass around patio doors, wall lights, external corners and downpipes while remaining accessible, supported and visually consistent.
The team also needed to distribute usable power across several parts of the patio. That required more than replacing individual accessories: the new sockets, fused spur, light fittings, switches and connecting cables had to operate as one practical exterior installation.
Electric11 divided the project into clearly defined electrical and finishing tasks.
A small amount of trenching created a practical route for the new electrical supply. Surface-mounted exterior cable was then secured closely to the property, following low-level brick lines and vertical building features to keep the finish discreet.
Three weather-resistant double switched sockets replaced the existing outdoor accessories. Their covered enclosures help protect the electrical connections from normal exterior conditions while providing convenient power around the patio.
One fused spur was installed beside the relevant socket position for the SWA supply. This added a local point of control and protection for the connected exterior circuit.
Electric11 installed six customer-supplied wall lights across the property’s rear elevation. The black cylindrical fittings complement the existing doors, guttering and downpipes while providing more useful illumination around the patio.
Three single light switches were replaced to provide straightforward control of the exterior lighting. The new controls completed the functional upgrade inside the agreed scope.
The finished installation gives the customer more usable outdoor power and lighting across the rear of the home. IP-rated sockets provide accessible connection points around the patio, while six coordinated wall lights improve visibility and make the exterior more practical after dark.
Careful routing keeps the visible cabling aligned with the building. The overall finish is clean and consistent across the brick and rendered elevations, with the accessories positioned where they can be reached easily.
