Sutton socket price
A tested spur and a new circuit are different costs in Sutton. The quote says which one the test supports. West Sutton houses that need several new sockets are counted as the circuits the test allows, not as a rewire. A Garden Suburb point that has to go around the building is described before it is cut.
From £80
Included
- Fitting one extra single or double socket on an existing domestic circuit
- Fitting or replacing a light switch on an existing circuit
- Isolation of that circuit at the consumer unit before cables are joined
- Testing of the new point and the circuit that feeds it
- A minor works certificate when the change needs one
Ways to pay
- Pay by bank
- Bank transfer
- Where the board is full, that is written up before a new circuit is offered.
- Plaster beyond the fresh opening stays out of this task.
- A finish that was chosen joins the cost only when it was named before the day.

What happens on the day
The test decides. A spur is used only where the circuit can take it. 1930s houses through West Sutton usually want more sockets than they were built with, and each added socket still depends on that test. Semis near the centre may already have had sockets added in a later rewire stage, so a new spur is not assumed. In the Sutton Garden Suburb a new point is planned around the building. Cheam Road flats stay on the supply that serves that flat.
- Test before the extra socketWest Sutton houses do not get another socket because they were built with too few. The circuit is tested. If it cannot take a spur, a new circuit is described instead.
- Notice what was already addedNear the centre a later rewire stage may already have added sockets. That stage is tested rather than loaded again. A socket that works is not spare capacity.
- Plan the point around the houseSutton Garden Suburb points are placed so the cable goes around the building. Cheam Road flats take the socket from the flat's supply, not from the shop.

WhatsAppWhy do West Sutton houses need more sockets?
The 1930s houses there were built with fewer than people now use. Each new socket is still tested. The age of the house does not create spare capacity.
Will you spur off a working socket near the centre?
Only if that stage of the rewire can take it. A socket that works is not spare capacity. A later stage that is already busy is not loaded again.
How is a new point run in the Sutton Garden Suburb?
Around the building. Arts and Crafts houses are not chased through so a socket can sit on the nearest wall. The path is part of the quote.
Can a Cheam Road flat spur off the shop?
No. The socket is on the supply that serves the flat. The shop is a different unit on the shared supply, and it is not opened for this job.
Is a socket on Carshalton Road a different test?
No. The circuit that is there is tested, and the result picks a spur or a new circuit. The road does not add capacity.
