What Would Be A Rough Price For Having A Shaver Socket Put In ?

[CW1]

I've had a quote for a shaver socket to be put on a wall, coming off the box for an extractor fan on the other side of the wall. The electrician said there wasn't the power to put in a 3 pin socket, only a 2 pin.
He's quoted nearly £25 for the socket & fittings (?), + £40 labour. Does that sound about right ?

Thanks

Screwfix price for a shaver socket:

Also need a box and some cable, so £25 not excessive, depending on the make of the shaver socket.

Sounds reasonable to me.

Does that include certification?

Yep sounds about right to me.

Sounds OK to me...labour seems good value !

Ok, thanks. All in price seemed a touch steep to me but then last time I had any sockets put in, was years ago & mates rates ;)

Blimey, that lot wasn't there when I posted ! PC s-o-o ... s-l-o-w ...
Ryzen, thought you only needed certification if was going in a bathroom ... ? This guy's obviously "old school", even sending the quote by post, so reckons he's "by the book".

CW1..yes, because he is extending a circuit, a Minor Works cert would be required confirming that basic tests and checks have been carried out.Building control notification wont be required.With regards to your shower pump, its simply a case of turning off the water..loosening the connections ..keeping a bowl handy to catch any water still in the pump etc..taking out the pump and flexi pipes and re-joining the pipes.If you're not sure get someone in.

...and dont forget to disconnect the power supply to the pump
