Costs

How much does an electrician cost in London?

These are typical London market ranges for 2026, not a fixed price list or a TrustBuilt quote, gathered from UK trade sources to help you budget.

ServiceTypical London rate (2026)Notes
Electrician day rate£300 – £450per day, London / South East
Standard call-out / first hour£65 – £120call-out, small jobs
Emergency / out-of-hours rate£90 – £150per hour, London

Figures cover labour and an electrician's standard materials. They exclude parts on larger jobs (consumer units, cabling), making-good such as plastering and decoration, scaffolding, and VAT where applicable. A full house rewire in London typically runs £6,000–£10,000 depending on property size and is quoted separately.

What affects your electrician cost?

London location premium

London and the South East run 20-30% above national rates, driven by higher labour costs, parking, congestion charges and travel time across the capital.

Emergency vs scheduled work

Evening, weekend and bank-holiday call-outs carry premium hourly rates and minimum charges, often double a planned weekday booking.

Certification and compliance

Part P notifiable work needs building-control sign-off and certification; EICRs, EICs and minor-works certs add cost but are legally required.

Property age and access

Older homes with rubber or fabric wiring, multiple fuse boards or hard-to-reach cabling take longer to inspect, test and bring up to standard.

Scope and number of circuits

More sockets, circuits, lighting points or a full rewire means more cable, more labour days and a bigger consumer unit, pushing totals up.

Making-good and decoration

Chasing walls for cables means replastering and repainting afterwards; most electrician quotes exclude this, so budget extra for finishing.
