Discuss What is a the going rate to replace an old plastic socket front to an chrome one? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

It's a fair point to consider land cost when looking at insurance/rebuild costs. I have seen many hundreds of survey reports and it's almost always the case that for old properties the re-instatement cost is much higher then the purchase price due to the cost of actually replacing like for like as far as practicable. The value of the land is considerable, but if you take a new-build which is destroyed by fire, the reinstatement figure is often lower than the original purchase price because a) you already have the land b) the price of the "kit" and finishing will be lower than the original price which includes the land and services and c) there is no Builders Premium/profit such as forms a substantial amount of the original price tag.
 
Going rate for swapping a few plastic to metal?

If one the other threads on here is anything to go by, in London it could be £500 or more!
You jest , but back in the late 90s early 00s I worked in Fulham & Chelsea for a good while for a contractor.
Some of the prices for jobs even way back then we’re eye watering. We used to rewire the old converted flats above the shops along Kings Road and £5000 for a 2 bed rewire wasnt uncommon then
