Typical Electrician Charging Rates
Typically, electricians charge a basic hourly rate, which can vary depending on a few factors: DIFFICULTY—a more difficult or complicated job can cost more if it takes more time, materials and labour to complete, SPECIALITY—some jobs must be done by specialists who typically charge a higher rate, and CONDITION—if your electrical circuitry is very old, hourly electrician labour rates + the cost of replacement parts may be higher than normal.
Typical hourly rates for an electrician in the UK range from around £60 - £100. However, this can vary from geographical area to area. For example, hourly labour rates for electricians in London are typically at the upper end of that range. Some jobs can also be more expensive depending on the factors mentioned above.
Emergency call-outs may also cost extra. Typically, emergency electricians are available to take on jobs outside their usual working hours and therefore often charge more per hour than other electricians. On average, for non-emergency situations, you can expect to pay an electrician at least £400 for a full day’s work. Because costs can vary, it’s important to make sure that you discuss hourly rates and any additional charges before you hire an electrician. This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect with no nasty surprises when the bill comes in.
Good electricians in London won’t mind if you call to ask about hourly rates and get a free quote before you commission the work. Just make sure you choose a company that vets its electricians and guarantees that they are well-trained, appropriately certified and experienced in the work you want doing. There are some situations where a fee that’s already been agreed on can change once work begins—if the job is larger than first thought, for instance. Ask your electrician for a breakdown of costs and is transparent on what caused any extra charges.
The team at Building Vision London can connect you with certified and skilled electricians who are guaranteed to be trustworthy and capable of providing you with the services you need. Aside from electricians, we also have a variety of other tradesmen in our ranks, including plumbers and builders. Looking for the right professional for your home or building?
