How much should it be for an electrician to change a light switch and plug sockets?

It is a reasonable charge I'm afraid, but as you've already been told its cheaper to do it yourself. A lot of people are afraid to touch electrics, but its simpler than you may think. For the jobs that you're talking about its just a question of turning off the electric, and swapping the wires over into the new sockets/switches. The new items you buy even tell you of any colour changes in the wiring over the years.

The hardest part is finding what fuse to pull if they are not labeled on your panel. I let my 5 year old daughter change the double switch in the bathroom when I redid it a few months back. I know if she could do it you can! Still, overall, I don't think the price was that bad for an electrician.
