What a adding sockets quote should include

  • Number and position of sockets
  • Whether it's a spur, ring extension or new circuit
  • Chasing and making good
  • Testing and certificate

Common mistakes

Not stating the circuit

A new circuit is a different job (and notifiable). Say what the quote is based on.

Making good left out

Chased walls need filling. Say whether you fill or the customer's decorator does.

Questions

Is adding a socket notifiable?

+

Adding to an existing circuit is often not notifiable outside special locations; a new circuit is. Check the rules and state it.

Should I charge per socket?

+

Per socket is easy for customers to understand; include a minimum charge for small jobs.

What certificate is needed?

+

Usually a Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate for additions to an existing circuit.

General guidance, not legal or technical advice. Check current regulations for your job.
