  • I want to move a plug socket and also run a spur off to create an extra socket. Am I allowed to do this or do I need to get an electrician in to do it?

  • As long as you're not creating a new circuit and are 'competent' then fill yer boots. However if the existing socket is already a spur then you can't add another socket.

  • Cheers. I guess in theory I'm competent. There are more sockets beyond the socket so would be surprised if it was a spur.

    If I got an electrician in would they also do the chasing? I suspect a professional would do a neater job than me.

    Anyone any suggestions how much an electrician would charge for moving one socket about three foot and adding another one about four foot away?
