What changes the price of socket installation
A socket installation or replacement starts from £85. That starting price buys one new or replacement point on the quotation, not a run of extras and not chasing into finished walls.
- Extra points on the same visit are added as their own lines, not as silent copies of the £85 starting price.
- Chasing into walls, boxing in cable, or making good is priced separately so the electrical figure stays visible.
- Kitchen, bathroom and outdoor points can need extra protection, which is named on the quotation before work starts.

“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

How much does a new socket cost?
Socket installation or replacement starts from £85 with Lighting Electrical. That starting price is for one quoted point, and extra points or chasing appear as their own lines. Kitchen and outdoor points can cost more when extra protection is needed.
Can you add a socket to an existing circuit?
Yes, when the circuit can take the extra load. Valandi Kotorri checks earthing, bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before Lighting Electrical prices the point. If it cannot take it, house rewiring from £2,400 is quoted instead.
