The cost of moving a socket will depend on what kind of wall it is on, does any repair work be necessary to make good wall after it moved and also how far you want to move it.
Depends how far?
Depends on how far your moving it and what consists of moving it i.e. extending cables, trunking if surfaced run or do you want it hidden in the wall (chased out).
You will be looking at paying £100
Depends on the wall and the finish you want. A simple surface trunking job could be £50 but if the wall is brick and you want the cable chopped in and the wall re- plastered it could be £250 or £150 if it is a stud wall. Discuss the options with your electrician and find the right one for your budget .
For one socket £40
If ther is more job in the same day price exp.
For three socket £90-100
It would vary from 60-120£ depending on the material of the wall( plaster board wall, brick wall, concrete wall).
£120
Depends on how far it is, it might need cables extension, wall damage, noggins or partitions on the way which will make the job harder
£50
