  • How much do you reckon it would cost to have a spark fit a new socket within a couple of feet of my consumer unit? I want to be able to plug shit in under the stairs where the unit is.

  • Surface mounted wire and socket it should cost around £100 but good luck finding someone who is prepared to do less than 1/2 a days work. You'll probably end up with quotes around £250. If you want it chased and plastered with a flush socket then £250 would be reasonable.

    You could do it yourself integrated it into an existing circuit. It's only the addition of the circuit which requires certification.

  • That's what I though, I'll leave it unless I'm having other work done.

    If it were easy for me to identify the existing circuits then I'd give it a go but the need is not great enough for me to go poking about.
