The new point goes on the circuit already in the wall, then that circuit is tested before the room is used again. ## Socket and switch installation prices Domestic socket and switch installation starts from £80. That starting price buys one extra socket or one switch on an existing circuit in the home, finished with the tests that job needs. - Socket & switch installation (domestic): from £80 - A second outlet, a new circuit from the consumer unit, or cable chased into plaster sits above the £80 start. - Minor works certification starts from £80 when the change needs a written certificate. - A written price is issued before TMB Electrics isolates the circuit. ## Extra sockets and switches in the home Too few outlets in a room, or a switch that no longer turns the light, is the reason for extra sockets and switches in the home. - **Extension leads across the floor:** A trailing block under the sofa or desk is the usual sign the room needs another socket. - **A switch that does nothing:** The light stays off, the bulb is new, and the switch itself is the part that needs changing. - **The furniture has moved:** A bed, desk or sofa in a new place leaves the nearest socket behind the furniture. - **A rental that needs another point:** Landlords add a socket or a matching switch in a let without rewiring the rest of the house. ## What is covered The starting job is one extra socket or one switch in the home, on a circuit that already exists. ### 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 ### Not included - Commercial power and socket installation, from £1,000 - House rewiring and circuit runs, from £1,800 - Fuse board and consumer unit upgrade, from £375 ## What happens on the day TMB Electrics isolates the circuit, fits the extra socket or switch, tests that circuit, and leaves a certificate when the job needs one. 1. **Arriving and isolating the circuit:** TMB Electrics arrives at the home, confirms the extra socket or switch, and isolates that circuit at the consumer unit. 2. **Fitting the extra socket or switch:** The extra socket or switch is connected on the existing circuit and fixed to the wall. 3. **Testing and the certificate:** The circuit is tested, power is restored, and a minor works certificate is completed when that change needs one. ## What you get after a new socket You are left with a working extra outlet or switch, a tested circuit, and a certificate when that change needs one. - **A live extra point:** The extra socket or switch is live and ready for the plug or the light it was fitted to serve. - **The circuit tested:** TMB Electrics tests the circuit that feeds the new point before leaving the home. - **Paperwork when it is needed:** A minor works certificate from £80 is completed when the job needs one, and notifiable work is completed under Part P. ## Socket and switch installation questions Homeowners and landlords ask TMB Electrics about the £80 start, whether the power goes off, and what certificate a new socket needs. ### How much does a new socket cost? Domestic socket and switch installation from TMB Electrics starts from £80. That figure is for one extra socket or one switch on a circuit that already exists. A second point, a new circuit from the board, or chasing plaster is priced in writing first. ### Do you fit light switches as well as sockets? Yes. TMB Electrics fits extra sockets and extra or replacement light switches on this domestic visit. Both use the circuit already in the wall. Light fitting and dimmer replacement is a separate job from £50. ### Will the power go off while a socket is fitted? The circuit for the new socket or switch is isolated at the consumer unit while the point is connected. That circuit is restored after TMB Electrics has tested the new point. ### Do I get a certificate for a new socket? Adding a socket or switch on an existing circuit is recorded on a minor works certificate from £80 when the job needs one. Notifiable work is completed under Part P. TMB Electrics leaves that document with you. ### Can you add a socket in the kitchen? Yes. TMB Electrics adds a domestic kitchen socket on this visit when it joins a circuit that already exists. A kitchen electrical refit starts from £1,500 when the work covers the whole kitchen.
