The company we use charge £90 + vat for each double socket (so 450 quid for 10 Cat5 points). That's for a small quantity though, so will
probably get cheaper if you're putting in more...
Will get more expensive if you don't already have patch panels you'll need those as well.
HTH,

My data company usually charges around £65 per twin outlet installed, wired back to cabinet, tested, labelled and warranted for 15 years.
Can put you in touch with a couple of firms if you want.

which ever quote you go with make sure they test it and provide some sort of certificate.
If they're a decent company they be able to tell you the run lengths as well.
Might also want to think about running extra cables now for future expansion. You can leave them unterminated at each end. Cables cheap, and the
pricey part is the labour.

If you have the trunking there, do it yourself its very easy and you can save loads of money, I cabled up our office 36 sockets onto patch panel, only
5 hours work. The longest job is running the cable.

Not that I'm undercutting but my cable guys charge £45 a socket!
I wire all mine myself now though. Costs do mount up so quickly and I've saved LOADS of money.
Feel free to give me a shout and I'll PM details of companies I used.
