Data and network point installation
TMB Electrics installs data and network points for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Banstead and Surrey. A new wired socket is fitted in the room that needs it, the link is tested, and you keep a written record of the work.
“I keep things straightforward: you deal with me from the first quote to the final check, with clear advice and no surprises along the way.”

Data points for homes and offices
- A spare bedroom used as an office, a television that needs a wired plug, or a workplace desk with no data outlet is when you need an ethernet socket, meaning a wired network point in the wall.
- The spare room has power, but the desk still needs a wired network plug in the wall.
- The lounge set sits far from the router and a data point behind it gives a steady wired link.
- A landlord can add a data socket in a let and keep a written record for the tenancy file.
What is covered
One data or networking point is a wired wall socket, the cable back to the router or cabinet, a test of that link and a written record.
Included
- Fitting one data or network wall socket in the room that needs it
- Running network cable from the existing router or cabinet
- Connecting the new faceplate on the wall
- Testing the wired link once the socket is in
- A written record of the work
Not included
- The router, switch, wifi hub or broadband service
- Computers, printers, cameras and leads that plug into the socket
- A full recable of the building or a new network cabinet

TMB Electrics fits the data socket on the visit, tests the wired link and leaves the written record at the property.

Data and network point installation questions
The usual questions before a data point are the starting price, the difference from a mains socket, and what happens after booking.
How much does a data point cost?+
A data or networking point from TMB Electrics starts at £120. That starting price is for one wall socket, a tested wired link and a written record. Extra points or a longer cable run are named in the written price first.
— Trevor Bush
Is a data point a mains socket?+
No, a data point is an ethernet socket for a wired network, not a mains power outlet. Socket and switch installation is a separate job from £80 if the same desk also needs extra power. Both can be set out on the same written price.
— Trevor Bush
Do you fit ethernet sockets in houses?+
Yes. TMB Electrics fits data and network points in houses, rentals and workplaces. The new socket is wired back to your router or cabinet and then tested.
What happens after I book a data point?+
TMB Electrics issues a written price for the data point, then books the visit around the property. On the day the socket is fitted, the link is tested and the written record is left with you.
Do I get a certificate for a data point?+
You are left with a written record of the data point work. A minor works certificate is a separate item from £80 when that document is needed for the job.
Book Online
A wired data socket is booked online with TMB Electrics, and the visit is then planned around the property.
