Electrician cost estimate

    Quick question on similar topic. I want to get a light switch moved from the wall one side of a door to the wall at the other side (changing the door to swing in the opposite direction). What would be a ballpark figure to get an electrician to do this (in Cork) ?

    It is a small distance but I expect they would probably need to chase the block wall (supporting wall so its solid).

    Thanks
    Val

    Could be €200 approx, depends how you want to terminate the now obsolete switch, because if the live is looped in here you might not be able to get it above. Is there a switch on the other side of the wall?

    Get a quote anyway.

    Would a new type of battery operated switch be an option, these are exactly the same on the wall but wireless....

    Have to say great application for opposite sides of rooms or top/bottom of stairs etc...
