Switch and socket installation in London - FAQs

Can I book this service for my business or rental property?

Yes, our light switch and socket installation service is available for commercial clients and landlords as well as homeowners. We often work with offices, shops, restaurants, and other businesses in London to install new power outlets, lighting controls, or replace worn-out electrical fittings.

How much do electricians charge to install sockets?

In the UK, electricians typically charge between £85 and £200 to install a new plug socket. The price will vary based on the socket type (standard 13A, USB outlet, or IP-rated outdoor socket), the condition of the existing wiring and existing infrastructure. Standard installations of similar sockets tend to be more affordable, while outdoor or specialist sockets, as well as work that involves additional wiring and testing, are generally more expensive. Installing multiple sockets in a single visit can reduce the cost per socket.

Can you install sockets yourself?

Yes, in the UK, it is legal to install and change sockets yourself. However, it’s strongly recommended to hire a qualified electrician for a new socket installation or more complex electrical work. While changing a faceplate might seem simple, any mistake in the wiring or lack of proper safety measures can result in electric shocks or fire hazards. In the UK, many electrical works (even small jobs) must comply with Part P building regulations, which often means they should be certified by a professional electrician. DIY electrical work can also invalidate home insurance if done incorrectly. For your safety and to ensure the job is done right, always hire a certified professional.

How long does it take to install or replace a light switch or socket?

Most simple replacements (one or two fixtures) can be done within an hour. We have a minimum one-hour call-out, so even quick jobs are covered in that time frame. The exact duration depends on the number of units and the complexity of the work. For example, installing a brand new socket in a new location (which involves running cable from a power source) will take longer than just swapping the faceplate on an existing socket. Similarly, fitting a multi-gang light switch.
