What the price includes

A socket installation or replacement from £85 covers the electrical work on the quoted points. Making good, extra circuits and board changes sit outside that figure.

  • Removing packaging and leaving the room ready to use the new point

Priced separately

  • Plastering, painting or making good after any chasing
  • A house rewire when the circuit cannot take another point
  • A consumer unit replacement unless that is quoted as its own job

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.”

Socket installation price questions

Still have a question?

How much does socket installation cost in Peterborough?

Lighting Electrical charges from £85, confirmed on survey, not a lead-generation estimate.

How much to change a socket front?

Our rate for this work is from £85. The price moves with access, the age and condition of the existing installation, and how much making good the job leaves behind — all of which we confirm before work starts.

How much to replace a double socket?

Our rate for this work is from £85. The price moves with access, the age and condition of the existing installation, and how much making good the job leaves behind — all of which we confirm before work starts.

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.
