We are seeking to put in some additional double sockets and spotlights in our newbuild. Builder initially said it would be c. £60 for each double socket. He is now saying £120! The schneider sockets themselves cost c. £20 each, but £120 sounds like a lot for some wiring. We are also being told £130 for each additional spotlight. Again the fitting is not driving the cost here.... Any advice appreciated. many thanks, Steve

Hi, Just battening the service void in our timber frame - going horizontally to minimise cold bridging, want to fix a batten at the correct height so that I can screw the elec boxes into the batten - to the underside of the batten (upstairs) and top of the batten (downstairs) - so the cable run doesnt involve too much drilling of holes. I know they are meant to be 450mm from finished floor height and I assumed this was to the underside of the socket but just to check I measured sockets in a new build earlier - they were 450 to the top of the sockets - so which is it? I'm leaning towards making it 450mm to the bottom of the sockets. The safe option. Also read that tbey should be min 350mm from corners - true? Cheers.
