Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to add a socket?
Most simple socket additions start from £80 for the first hour, with £50 for each additional hour and materials at cost. The exact price depends on how far the cable needs to run, whether it can be spurred from a nearby circuit, and whether the wall needs chasing. We confirm a clear price before starting.
Can you add a socket without making a mess?
We always work as cleanly as possible. Cables can be chased into the wall and plastered over, or neatly surface-run in trunking if you prefer to avoid replastering. We tidy up after every job and carry out minor making-good around the new socket.
Can you fit USB sockets?
Yes. USB and USB-C sockets are a popular upgrade, especially in bedrooms, kitchens and home offices. They let you charge phones and tablets without plug adaptors, freeing up the standard sockets for other devices.
Do I need a new circuit or can you spur off an existing one?
In many cases a new socket can be safely spurred from a suitable existing circuit. Where that would overload the circuit or isn't appropriate, we'll run a new dedicated circuit instead. We assess this on site and explain the best option for your property.
Will the work be certified?
Yes. As a NAPIT registered electrician, all work is tested and you receive the appropriate electrical certificate for the installation.
