How much to pay to move some electrical sockets

Hi, am new to this so hopefully am posting in the right place.

I need an electrical socket moving along a wall and a new one added as well as an aerial socket moving. Nothing needs moving more than a couple of feet, but they all need moving so that I can use them once I have fitted wardrobes installed. I have an electrician friend who usually does these kinds of things for me but he is on holiday for a fortnight and it needs doing asap so can't use him. Just wondered how much I should expect to pay for this? I have all the mounting boxes/socket covers etc., just need someone who knows what they're doing to actually move them so I don't blow the house up!

Thanks!

    I've just been charged £60 by an electrian to move and fit a new plug socket, move a phone socket, replace a plug socket and replace two transformers in my spotlights.
