Outdoor socket installation price
Outside socket figures follow a look at the wall position and the cable from indoors. Your house is confirmed on its own, once that look is done.
From £80
£80 for up to 1 outdoor sockets, then £119 per additional outdoor sockets.
Included
- Fixing one covered socket onto the external wall of the house.
- Connecting that socket for use with garden tools.
- RCD protection for the outside socket.
- Checking the socket works at the wall and is dead when switched off.
Not included as standard
- Cables to a shed, garage, garden room or workshop.
- Lighting the garden, including path lights and floodlights.
- Building the wall, or fitting outside taps and pipework.
Ways to pay
- Pay by bank
- A single weatherproof socket and one with two outlets are confirmed separately.
- Chasing or surface trunking, if either is needed to reach the spot, joins the figure once seen.
- Power to a shed, garage or outbuilding is not in this figure at all.
When an outside socket is needed
Mowers, trimmers and other garden tools are easier used from a weatherproof socket on the house wall. This is that socket, not a feed into a shed.
- Tools at the house wallA mower or trimmer can run from a weatherproof socket fixed to an outside wall. You avoid trailing a lead from an indoor room through a doorway.
- Weather closed outThe socket is a weatherproof type with a cover that sheds rain. It is meant for garden tools, not for leaving ordinary indoor plugs out in a storm.
- Only the house wallThe socket goes on the outside wall of the house. It does not carry power across a garden to a shed, workshop or summerhouse.
What happens on the day
We mark the height on the outside wall, bring a cable from a suitable circuit, and fit the weatherproof socket. You are told the layout before drilling.
- Picking the wall spotThe socket sits where garden tools are actually used, high enough to stay clear of standing water. Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Stretton and Horninglow houses are treated the same way.
- Bringing a cable outA cable is brought from a suitable circuit inside to the outside point. The run is kept short and protected where it passes through the wall.
- Fitting and testingThe weatherproof socket is fixed, covered and tested. We check it runs a load and that it switches off cleanly.

WhatsAppIs the socket suitable for a mower?
Yes. It is a weatherproof socket on an outside wall for garden tools such as mowers and trimmers. It is not a feed to a shed.
Can power be taken to a shed from it?
No. Power to a shed, garage or garden room is excluded. The socket stops at the outside wall of the house.
Will rain get into the socket?
The socket is weatherproof and has a cover. It is made for an outside wall. Keep the cover closed when no tool is plugged in.
Do you fit these on Horninglow terraces?
Yes. Horninglow terraces, Stretton houses and homes in Ashby-de-la-Zouch can all have a weatherproof socket on an outside wall. The cable run depends on that house.
What circuit does the socket use?
A circuit that can accept an outside socket, with protection suited to outdoor use. We confirm that from the board before the socket is fitted.
