I currently have one single light in a room, and I want the little Pin Spots scattered around a room, I think, 5 would be quite nice. GU10 fittings.

How much would it be for an electrician to come and dot his job all in?

And, I would like to get 2 more 13amp double gang sockets installed...

Is this difficult to do?, and how much for this?

And then how much for the entire job?

Lee.

How on earth can we know unless we go on site to see what the situation is?

You installation may need some updating, as RCDs are mandatory for those extra sockets.

You may have engineered wood flooring everywhere which would make the sockets very expensive, as you would need a carpenter to take up and put down the floor.

This floor may also be upstairs, so the ceiling would have to come down, wiring put in and then someone would have to make it like swiss cheese to put in crappy lights. (see, I don't like them).

You need to find three electricians to visit, get them to give you quotes. Then you'll know how much.

Why? Don't you need the room to be properly lit any more?

I think,

So you're not sure?

5 would be quite nice.

Would it?

GU10 fittings.

Total wattage of what you're putting in vs what you currently have?

How much would it be for an electrician to come and dot his job all in?

About the same as dinner for two. Whether that's "Have you ever been to a Harvester before?" or Gidleigh Park depends on all sorts of things which nobody can say without seeing the job.

And, I would like to get 2 more 13amp double gang sockets installed...

Is this difficult to do?,

And then how much for the entire job?

About the same as dinner for two and a room for the night.

Do you have access to the ceiling/floor void and how deep is the void?

LeeThomas said:

This would depend on ease of access and route the cable/method of installation required, to comply to building regulations.

Again ease of access and ease of route, would determined this!

LeeThomas said:

Again would depend on a few variables, the positioning of the sockets with regards to the supply feed, the, if easy access is available within fabric of the building (walls, floors, ceilings). The ease of the route, method of installation and whether RCD protection is existing on circuit.

LeeThomas said:

Being remote of the installation, it would be difficult to calculate costs, your best bet is to contact 3 recommended electricians and get quotes from them and take it from there!

Oh how I wished I had read your post, prior to composing mine, could have saved us both sometime!
But I didn't (none of it)

But I have now and liked what I read!
