When it comes to switches and sockets installation in London, the cost and time required can vary based on several factors, such as the type of installation, the condition of the existing wiring, and the complexity of the job. Here’s a breakdown of what you can generally expect:
Average Costs in London:
Basic Socket or Switch Installation: Installing a standard socket or light switch typically costs between £50 and £100 per unit. This cost includes both labor and materials. If multiple sockets or switches are installed at once, some electricians may offer a reduced rate per unit.
USB or Smart Sockets: Upgrading to USB-enabled or smart sockets can increase the cost slightly, with prices ranging from £70 to £150 per socket, depending on the brand and features of the socket.
Outdoor or Weatherproof Sockets: For outdoor installations, which often require weatherproofing, you can expect to pay between £100 and £200 per socket. These installations are more complex due to the need for waterproof casings and additional safety considerations.
Repairs and Upgrades: If the installation requires repairs to the existing wiring or if the current sockets and switches need to be replaced due to safety concerns, this can add between £50 and £150 to the total bill.
Time Required for Installation:
Basic Installations: For a straightforward installation of a single socket or switch, it typically takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour. This can increase slightly if there are access issues or additional work, such as plastering, is required.
Multiple Installations: Installing multiple switches or sockets in a single visit can take anywhere from 2 to 5 hours, depending on the number of units and the complexity of the installation. For example, if the electrician needs to run new wiring or upgrade the fuse box, this can extend the duration.
Factors That Influence Cost and Time:
Condition of Existing Wiring: If the current wiring is outdated or unsafe, repairs or upgrades will be needed before installing new sockets or switches, adding to both time and cost.
Accessibility: If sockets are located in difficult-to-reach areas or if you require concealed wiring, this can make the installation more complex, increasing labor time.
By choosing Alesta Services, you can rest assured that you’re getting transparent pricing and efficient service, with all installations completed to the highest safety standards.
