Socket & Switch Installation FAQs
A single socket installation typically costs between €80 and €150 depending on access and whether a new circuit is needed. Adding multiple sockets on an existing ring final circuit is more cost-effective per socket. We give you a fixed price after a free survey — no surprises on the day.
We try to minimise disruption as much as possible. For surface-mounted sockets, no cutting is needed. For flush-fitted sockets in dry-lined or plastered walls, we make the smallest possible cut and leave it as clean as we can. Any minor cuts are made good before we leave.
Yes — outdoor socket installation is one of our most common jobs across Cork. We install IP-rated weatherproof sockets on a dedicated circuit with RCD protection. Whether it’s for a garden workshop, shed, BBQ area, or driveway, we’ll spec the right fitting for the location.
USB sockets have built-in USB-A or USB-C charging ports alongside standard 13A socket outlets. They remove the need for adapters and charger plugs. Most Cork homeowners fitting them in kitchens, bedrooms, or home offices find them very useful. They cost a little more than standard sockets but are straightforward to fit in place of an existing socket.
Under Irish regulations, electrical work in domestic properties must be carried out by a registered Safe Electric electrician and notified to Safe Electric. DIY electrical work is not permitted for fixed wiring. Unregistered work is a safety risk and can affect your home insurance and the ability to sell your property.
Yes — we regularly run power to sheds, garages, and outbuildings across Cork. This typically requires a dedicated circuit run from the consumer unit, with armoured cable used for any underground section. We assess the job during a free site survey and give you a fixed price before anything is agreed.
Sockets that are discoloured, cracked, sparking, or feel warm to the touch should be replaced promptly. Older round-pin sockets or sockets without childproof shutters are also worth updating. If you have a house built before the 1990s that hasn’t had its sockets updated, it’s worth having them assessed.
No — installing outdoor sockets does not require planning permission. It does require the work to be carried out by a Safe Electric registered electrician and notified to Safe Electric on completion. We handle the notification process as part of every installation.
