Pricing guide
Costs are driven by whether the move uses the existing termination or needs a new, certified network point, and by the labour and materials required for the cable run. External or conduit runs typically need outdoor‑rated materials and extra labour, while creation of a new in‑wall outlet usually increases labour, testing and wall‑repair allowance. A callout fee normally applies per visit and quoted hours usually refer to technician time on site rather than travel.
New network point required
Creating and terminating a new in‑wall outlet usually adds labour for cutting, cabling and testing compared with using an existing outlet.
Internal versus external runs
Any external or conduit involvement typically requires outdoor‑rated cable, conduit fittings and additional sealing or mounting work.
Cable length and routing complexity
Longer runs, routes through ceilings or multiple wall bends generally increase labour and material needs.
Wall repairs and finishing
Jobs that need new in‑wall outlets or larger access openings often come with higher allowances for wall patching and plate fixes.
Callout, visits and timing
A callout fee commonly applies per visit and work done after‑hours or requiring extra attendances can increase the overall charge.
