In Riddlesdown that is common in 1930s Laing houses, and it is not a rewire. · Call 07460 070551 New sockets in Purley are the extra outlets a room was short of. Riddlesdown's 1930s Laing houses are the usual case, and the new points are not a rewire of the whole house. ## How new Purley sockets are costed The outlets written down, in the rooms written down, are this price. A 1930s Laing house in Riddlesdown is not rewired inside that price. A consumer unit upgrade in Reedham is its own booking. - Socket installation: from £80 - A socket added after arrival is priced before it is fitted. - A full board on the Webb Estate stops the new faces. - The shop under a parade flat is not on this price. ## Socket and switch installation across Purley We serve Purley from our base in Banstead. - Purley Cross - Brighton Road - Foxley Lane - Webb Estate - Upper Woodcote Village - Riddlesdown - Purley Oaks - Reedham ## What happens on the day The new outlets are fitted in the rooms written down, on a circuit we have already shown can carry them. Riddlesdown's Laing houses, built in the 1930s, are the ones that usually need outlets the rooms were never given, and that work stops at the points on the list. On the Webb Estate a new socket has to leave a board that has a way, and a split supply means we say which board. A socket in a flat above the Brighton Road parades is not a socket in the shop. ### Add the outlets the rooms lacked In a Riddlesdown Laing house the new faces are the ones written down. The 1930s cabling through the rest of the house is not replaced because a room was short of sockets. ### Leave from a board that has room On the Webb Estate the new socket leaves the board with a spare way. If both sides of a split supply are full, the faces wait. ### Keep the shop face separate A socket in a flat above the Brighton Road parades is fed from the flat. The shop below is not given that face, and it does not lend one. ## Questions about new sockets in Purley ### Why do Riddlesdown houses ask for sockets? The 1930s Laing houses were built with fewer outlets than the rooms are now asked to run. Adding those outlets is not a rewire. ### Which board do new sockets use on the Webb Estate? The one with a spare way. Where the supply is split and neither board has room, the sockets are not forced on. ### Can the flat and the shop share a new socket? No. A flat above the Brighton Road parades and the shop are labelled as two supplies. Each face belongs to the premises named. ### Does Reedham get a new consumer unit with two sockets? No. An upgrade in Reedham is booked on its own. This price is only the outlets on the list for that house. ### What if the circuit cannot take another spur? The socket is not fitted on that circuit. A new circuit is written instead, and it is not installed under silence. ## Other services in Purley - [Electrician in Purley](https://www.tmbelectrics.co.uk/electrician-purley): Electrician in Purley, Croydon (CR8).
