Electric socket in loft

Posted by Shirley Greig, on
Electric socket in loft. Is there anyone interested in fitting a double electric socket in my loft? I have posted an add but have had no response. Surely there's an electrician who could do this small job?

Hi Shirley, There's probably not too many electricians willing to do the job because, usually in a loft there are no power cables but only lighting cables. So even though it looks like a small job, it could be quite a hassle to run a cable to supply a socket in a loft if you want no damage to the walls and ceilings. Regards, Cornelius Cretu

Hi Shirley Where are you based? If your local (ish) to me I would be happy to do this for you. Tradesman pay RP just to get your details Most people are unaware of this. They will advertise a job for 100 which RP charge us 6.40 plus vat. Nobody buys the lead so they update the job and put a 250 budget on which RP then charge us 11.40 plus vat You see what I mean. Thanks Russ
