Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an electrician cost per hour in the UK?
Most electricians charge £40–£60 per hour outside London in 2026, rising to £55–£75 per hour in London and the South East. Fault finding is often a fixed £80–£200, covering the call-out and the first diagnostic hour.
What is the most expensive electrical job?
House rewiring: a 2-bed costs £3,500–£5,500, a 3-bed £5,500–£8,000 and a 4-bed £8,500–£12,000 in 2026, with London running 15–25% higher. Next come EV charger installation at £800–£1,200 and a fuse box replacement at £450–£750.
Why are electrical prices higher in London?
Higher wages, congestion charges and parking all feed in. Rewiring runs 15–25% higher in the capital, an hourly electrician moves from £40–£60 to £55–£75, and a fuse box replacement jumps from £450–£750 to £700–£1,200.
Do you need a registered electrician for the work?
Most fixed wiring work falls under Part P of the Building Regulations, so use an electrician registered with a scheme such as NICEIC or NAPIT — registration means the job is certified without a separate building control fee. Certification matters at sale or remortgage: an EICR costs £120–£350 and flags any substandard or uncertified work.
