How We Price Our Work
Every property and installation is different, so we quote each job on the work actually required rather than a one-price-fits-all list. Pricing is based on:
- The type and complexity of the work, from a single socket through to a full rewire
- The condition of your existing installation, including the age of your wiring, board, and earthing arrangement
- Materials and equipment required, specified openly so you can see what you are paying for
- Access and cable routes, which affect how long the work takes and what is involved
- Any additional safety upgrades needed, which we always flag at the quote stage rather than partway through the job
What Affects Your Quote
Here is how we approach pricing for each type of work we carry out.
General Electrical Work
Sockets, switches, fault finding, and safety improvements, quoted on scope and anything found on site. See our general electrical services page.
Consumer Unit Upgrades
Priced on your existing board, the number of circuits to protect, and whether an earth electrode is needed. See our consumer unit upgrade page.
House Rewires
Full and partial rewires are quoted after a free site visit, as cost depends on size, age, and access. See our house rewires page.
Fault Finding & Repairs
Quoted as a fixed price before work begins, regardless of how straightforward or complex the fault turns out to be. See our fault finding page.
Lighting Installation
Indoor, outdoor, and LED lighting quoted on fittings, circuits, and access. See our lighting installation page.
EV Charger Installation
Priced individually on charger brand, cable routing, and the capacity of your existing supply. Send photos with our EV charger quote request for an accurate figure.
Written Quotes as Standard
Before any work begins you receive a clear, written quotation setting out exactly what is included, so there is nothing to work out on the day.

No Hidden Extras
We aim to avoid surprises. That means explaining any assumptions or limitations in the quote upfront, and flagging anything about your property that could change the scope before we start rather than after.
If something unexpected is discovered once work is underway, such as damaged cabling hidden behind plaster, we stop and talk it through with you before going any further. You decide whether to proceed, and any revised cost is agreed in writing first.
Where it helps, we can provide itemised options so you can prioritise the work that matters most and phase the rest over time. If your board turns out to be the limiting factor, we will explain whether a consumer unit upgrade is worth doing at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do you charge for quotes?
No. All quotes are free and come with no obligation to proceed.
-
Why do you not list fixed prices for each job?
Two jobs with the same name can differ significantly in cost depending on your wiring, access, and the condition of your installation. A fixed list would either overcharge simple jobs or undercharge complex ones, so we assess your specific situation instead.
-
Will the price change once work has started?
Only if something unexpected is uncovered, and we will always explain it and agree any change with you before continuing, never after the fact.
-
How do I get an accurate quote for an EV charger?
Complete our EV charger quote request form with photos of your consumer unit, meter, and parking area. That lets us assess the job properly and give you a fixed price without needing an initial site visit.
-
Do you work on domestic properties only?
Yes. We specialise exclusively in domestic electrical work for homeowners and landlords, so every quote reflects experience with the kind of jobs UK homes actually need.
