My garage currently has 4 double electrical sockets in the garage and 2 light switches, all on the same side. I'd like to add 4 more double sockets and a light switch on the other side of the garage, so I'd have 2 double sockets on each side wall and 4 double sockets along the back wall, plus a light switch on the other side as well.

Will I need to get an electrician in for this? I believe the current wiring is in serial and not on a ring.

Thanks.

You don't HAVE to get an electrian to do it if you think it's within your capabilites.

Are you asking from a legal standpoint or complexity?
