Electrical work pricing in London
Hourly rates are banded by the time of day. Fixed-price jobs (fuse boards, EICRs, EV chargers, downlights) are quoted on the call from a standard schedule. Rewires and larger works are scoped on site and a written fixed quote is issued within 24 hours — never an open-ended day rate.

How it works
From the first call to the certificate landing in your inbox, the workflow is the same on every job — small or large, domestic or commercial.
Call or WhatsApp
Describe the issue or the project. Most jobs are scoped over the phone in 5 minutes — we ask about consumer unit age, circuit count, property age and any prior EICR codes.
Fixed quote
A fixed price is confirmed on the call for routine work (sockets, downlights, EICRs, EV chargers). For rewires and larger works the electrician attends to scope, then issues a written fixed quote within 24 hours.
NICEIC electrician on site
Every electrician carries 18th Edition + 2391 inspection and testing qualifications, calibrated Megger or Fluke test gear, and a working van stock for same-visit fixes on around 70% of fault calls.
Certificate and aftercare
Electrical Installation Certificate, Minor Works Certificate or EICR issued by email within 48 hours. Part P notification lodged with building control where required. 12-month workmanship guarantee on every job.
EV charger installation — OZEV grant included
7kW home and commercial EV chargers from £899 fitted, with the OZEV Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme grant of up to £350 deducted at point of sale where eligible. Tethered and untethered chargers from Pod Point, Ohme, Wallbox, Easee and Zappi are stocked and supported.
The standard installation includes the dedicated 32A circuit, RCD Type A or Type B protection (charger-dependent), surge protective device, cable run of up to 15 metres, installation commissioning to BS 7671 + IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation, OCPP back-office registration and the Electrical Installation Certificate. The full breakdown sits on the EV charger installation London page.
Rewires and fuse boards
A full rewire replaces every length of cable and every accessory in the property. The work is split into first fix (cables behind the walls, before plastering) and second fix (sockets, switches and the consumer unit installed and tested). A 2-bed property is typically 5–7 working days; a 3-bed 7–10 days; a 4-bed 10–14 days. Replastering and decorating are scheduled between the two stages.
Fuse board upgrades — replacing the consumer unit — take a single working day on most properties and are the single biggest electrical safety upgrade available short of a full rewire. The new unit is metal-enclosed to the 18th Edition, every circuit gets its own RCBO (so a fault on one circuit no longer takes out half the property), and a Type 2 SPD protects sensitive electronics from surges. Full detail is on the fuse board upgrade London and full rewire London pages.
Emergency electricians, 24/7
Total power loss, burning smells, smoke from a socket, a tripping RCD that refuses to reset, water ingress into a consumer unit — these are the calls that come into the 24/7 landline. Typical attendance is 60–90 minutes inside the M25. The first hour is the minimum charge; most faults are isolated, made safe and returned to service inside that hour.
Every emergency electrician carries a working van stock of RCBOs, metal-clad sockets, MCBs, earth clamps, bonding conductor, junction boxes, SY cable and 18th Edition consumer unit spares. Around 70% of fault calls are sorted on the same visit from that stock. The full process is on the emergency electrician London page.
Landlords, agents and commercial
Portfolio landlords and managing agents get bundled electrical visits — EICR + CP12 in a single attendance, fuse board upgrades scheduled around tenancy changeovers, EV charger installations for buy-to-let driveways. Commercial work is scheduled around trading hours where required, with three-phase distribution boards, server-room circuits and out-of-hours installations all routine.
- • 5-year EICR reminder set automatically on every landlord property.
- • Combined EICR + CP12 same-visit discount.
- • Portfolio rates from three properties — 10–20% off the published price list.
- • Consolidated monthly invoicing with VAT breakdown per property.
- • Out-of-hours commercial scheduling at no premium on contracted sites.
