    Pricing of electrical socket removal

    Just need a bit of advice from some domestic sparks. I work in engineering so I don’t normally price domestic work. I need to remove a socket from service and it’s a relatively straightforward job would probably take me 30-60 mins and I’m just wondering what you guys would charge?
