If it was the same locations I'd say do it yourself (until I get told it's illegal by diable). We moved one light switch with an angle grinder (there were two nearby and wonky switches so we rerouted one of them and dug a channel for the wire to the other) and enlarged a load of single sockets into doubles with a chisel and a lot of swearing. Parts from screwfix. The only hitch has been that our walls aren't perfectly flat so we needed to fill in a bit with some caulky stuff. Cost us maybe 50 quid in parts and materials and took two afternoons.
CYOA

We had 2 days work from an electrician, he cut 4 new sockets into downstairs concrete wall, tidied up, checked the wiring, rewired some stuff, changed 10 light socket plates, put swapped 2 singles for doubles upstairs. Cut in two into concrete, one into plaster.
540 with materials we selected from screwfix.
Would and have recommended him again.
