Additional Double Socket — your questions answered
- How much does it cost to add a socket?
- Around £120 to £160 as a fixed price for a straightforward socket off an existing circuit, with plastering and decorating usually excluded.
- Is adding a socket notifiable work?
- Adding a socket to an existing circuit outside a bathroom is not notifiable, but it should still be tested and certified as minor works.
- Will there be mess?
- Chasing into a wall creates dust and leaves a patch to fill and paint. Surface-mounted trunking avoids that if you prefer.
- Can several sockets be done in one visit?
- Yes, and it is far cheaper per socket. Mention how many you need in the enquiry.
