What would be a reasonable price to exchange 7 white double socket fronts for chrome customer has purchased already?

Depends on condition of existing wiring and presence of CPC’s?

Depends if all bondong is In place or would ya let go fat alan

It also depends if the new faceplates fit the mounting boxes! For example, if the new ones are flat plate with USBs and need 35mm boxes, but only 25mm boxes fitted!

What’s “bondong”...... I don’t know, but I think I like it!

A couple of hours labour, but stipulate that’s straight swap. Any additional work will be extra- say so on quote.
You’ll need a length of 1.5 earth wire to link the plates to the back boxes, unless drywall boxes. And have some of those 3.5 extension screws....

You don’t ‘need’ to fly lead to the back of the box unless both lugs are adjustable for a socket.

Some might consider it good practice though.

Why wouldn't you though? It doesn't take more than a minute...
