# Data and network point installation

> 5.0 Star from 46 reviews · Covering Banstead, Sutton and Wallington · Trading since 2012 · Call 07460 070551 · Data and network point installation from TMB…

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.

## Data and network point installation prices

Data and network point installation starts at £120. That starting price is for one wired socket, a tested link and a written record of the work.
- Data / networking point installation: from £120
- The £120 figure is a starting price for one data or networking point.
- Extra sockets or a longer cable run between rooms is set out in the written price first.
- Work through finished walls or floors sits above that starting figure.

## 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.
- **Home office with no wall socket:** The spare room has power, but the desk still needs a wired network plug in the wall.
- **Television that needs a wired plug:** The lounge set sits far from the router and a data point behind it gives a steady wired link.
- **Rental that now has a study:** A landlord can add a data socket in a let and keep a written record for the tenancy file.
- **Office desk with no data socket:** A shop or office can have extra wall sockets added back to the existing cabinet, planned around the premises.

## 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

## What happens on the day

TMB Electrics fits the data socket on the visit, tests the wired link and leaves the written record at the property.
1. **Arrival at the property:** TMB Electrics meets you, and you point to the room for the socket and the router or cabinet already there.
2. **Fitting the data socket:** TMB Electrics runs network cable to the room, fits the faceplate and wires in the socket.
3. **Test and written record:** The wired link is tested and the written record is left with you before TMB Electrics leaves.

## What you get from a data point

You are left with a working wall socket in the right room, a tested wired link, and a written record of the work.
- **A working socket in the right room:** The new faceplate sits in the room that needed the socket, ready for a network lead.
- **A tested wired link:** TMB Electrics tests the link from the new socket back to the router or cabinet.
- **A written record of the work:** You keep a written record of the installation for your file or a landlord pack.

## 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.

### 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.

### 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.
