I actually have a question regarding this. Can i replace the old sockets we have in one room, with newer stainless steel ones that match the rest of our house? No installing new sockets in different positions, or anything like that. Just a straight swap. Am i allowed to just turn off the power to upstairs and do this myself, or do i legally need to get a registered electrician to do it?

Yes (as long as you know what your doing)

How is this question taking the !!!!?

I have never done socket replacements before, so was just asking for the rough price per socket replacement in a rewire, What is wrong with that type of a question ? you guys have the experience and know the stuff.

That is what this whole forum is about, helping people.

you certainly dont need to know the actual breakdown of the sparkys price for domestic plug points.
all that matters is the final cost to you.

as been said 40/60 quid is about the going rate.
