# Socket and switch installation in Coulsdon

> Socket installation in Coulsdon adds one point on an existing circuit in the room named. Flats at Netherne on the Hill do not get that socket in the stair.

A new socket in Coulsdon is one point on a circuit that already exists, in the room named. Flats at Netherne on the Hill do not gain that socket in the stair.


## What a Coulsdon socket visit covers

One extra socket or one switch on an existing circuit, the test of that circuit, and the certificate when it is needed, are this price. Rewiring the home, and swapping the consumer unit, sit outside this price.
- Socket installation: from £80
- A second point is priced before any extra cutting.
- Chasing plaster, when it is needed, is named before it starts.
- Commercial sockets are a different booking.

## What happens on the day

One extra socket, or one switch, goes on a circuit that already exists. That circuit is isolated at the board before the cables are joined, then we test the outlet and the breaker that feeds it. A minor works certificate is included when the change needs one. In a flat at Netherne on the Hill the socket goes in the flat, not in the stair meter cupboard. A new circuit from the board, and a board change, are different bookings.

### Add the one point named

A single or a double socket on the existing circuit, in the room named, is the work. A second point is written into the price before it is cut in.

### Keep it out of the stair

In a flat at Netherne on the Hill the new socket stays inside the flat. The stair meter cupboard, and the shared supply in it, is not where a domestic socket is added.

### Test the circuit that feeds it

The circuit is isolated, the point is joined, and both the point and the circuit are tested. A minor works certificate is completed when that change needs one.

## Questions about sockets in Coulsdon


### Can the new socket go in the stair at Netherne on the Hill?

No. The socket goes in the flat, on a circuit that already serves that flat. The stair meter cupboard is the shared supply, not a place for a new domestic socket.

### Is this a new circuit from the board?

No. This visit adds a point to a circuit that already exists. A new circuit from the board is priced as different work.

### Will you change the fuse board as well?

No. A board change is its own booking. Adding one socket does not become a new board, even where the bungalows often need one.

### What if another socket is asked for after you arrive?

It is written into the price before it is cut in. It is not added because the board is already isolated.

### Do I get a certificate?

When the change needs one, yes. A minor works certificate records the new point on the existing circuit. It is not a report on the rest of the home.
