Electrical work: sockets, radiator removal

£200

Stepney, Greater London, E1

16th Sep 2026

I’m looking for a qualified electrician for several small electrical jobs in my flat. Ideally I’d like to have these completed together, depending on the quote. 1. Convert 3 existing single sockets to flush-mounted double sockets I have the new double socket faceplates already. The existing openings will need to be enlarged/chased out and suitable double back boxes fitted into the wall, so the finished sockets sit flush with the wall like standard sockets. I do not want surface-mounted boxes. 2. Remove 2 hardwired electric radiators and replace the connection points with flush-mounted double sockets There are two electric radiators currently hardwired into fused connection points. I’d like both radiators electrically disconnected and removed, then, where suitable, the existing connection points converted to double sockets. The replacement sockets should also be flush-mounted into the wall, not surface-mounted, including any chasing or enlargement required. I have the double socket faceplates already. I’ve attached a photo showing the existing radiator connection. Please check that the existing circuits are suitable before converting the radiator points to sockets. I will supply all visible socket faceplates. Please include any back boxes, cable and other installation materials required. Please include labour, testing and any required electrical certification in your quote. If possible, please give me: • a total price for completing everything together • a rough breakdown for each part, as I might do some of the work separately depending on the total Free underground parking is available on site.

I need 2 surface-mounted double sockets installed inside a storage/utility cupboard.

The sockets will mainly be used for charging a cordless vacuum etc I’ve attached photos showing the cupboard, consumer unit and available wall space.
