Wats the going rate to get a sparky to fit a double socket these days?

Watts - Ahahaaa. I see what you did there.

 

[Cheesy Feet]

Not sure what the current rate is.

You'll get a shock when you find out.

 

[FishburnMackem]

I can supply and fit for £50 marra.

 

[JohnSmithUK]

I'll have a go for a tenner.

Not as cheap as me.

is it to replace an existing socket whether it be single or double or is it to take a spur of another socket and chase through plaster or under floorboards and make good render either way

A lad did four doubles at mine for £120 the other week. So I suspect £50 or so for one?

 

[FishburnMackem]

Seriously ??

Yes marra. How come you need someone to replace it? It's a pretty simple job if you'd rather me walk you through it?

sounds like a new placement, not replacing

Aye. Tbh I’d do no job for less than £60 now. Unless it’s someone I know or existing customers.

This is what i thought from the start..getting replacements would be buttons.

You can get a new double socket from Screwfix for £2..maybe £5 for a chrome look one..how long to fit it..10 minutes??..new placement is totally different though.

There's a lot more work involved in a new placement. If it was just replacing as previously said I'd be happy to walk the OP through this to save them a pretty penny, as long as they are comfortable to do so.

I won't be carrying out any new placement work as electrical work isn't my main job.

I know I've just said that..i was more replying to figures of £60 for a couple of new replacement sockets fitted..be making £50 for half an hours work..no way.

Replaced a double socket to upgrade to a one with USB outlets, was pretty pleased with myself and the kids havent been fried yet. Missus (no) complained though because it was chrome and didnt match the others
