    How Much Does an Electrician Cost?

    The average daily cost of an electrician is around £250 to £375, or £30-£50 per hour. How much you actually pay will depend a lot on where you live in the UK, with electricians charging more around London and the South West compared to the North of England, Wales, and Scotland.

    You're also likely to pay more for an electrician if you choose a larger company rather than a sole trader.

    You also need to keep in mind that most electricians will have a minimum charge. So even if the job only takes them 20 minutes, they will still charge for at least an hour or maybe even 2 hours. This is to cover the time they spend travelling and fuel costs.

    Hiring an Electrician

    When trying to find an electrician that's right for you, it's important to check that they are capable of doing the job competently. In many cases, electrical work falls under Part P building regulations, and thus the electrician needs to be a Part P registered person. You can check this here.

    With MyJobQuote, you can find electricians in your area, check out their recent reviews and compare quotes. We make it our job to help find local electricians.

    Find an electrician
    Common Questions for Electricians
    How can you check if an electrician is qualified?

    The best way to check that an electrician is qualified is by asking them for proof of their NICEIC number and ID card issued by the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting. You can also check the Competent Personal Electrical Register, which is now listed on a government website where you can find a list of all qualified electricians across the UK. Only electricians who comply with the government's technical standards can be placed on this list, so you can rest assured that they are fully compliant when completing a job.

    What qualifications does an electrician need?

    An electrician must have a recognised level 3 qualification, such as a level 3 diploma in electrotechnical services. The majority of qualified electricians will have started their career as an apprentice where they would have received a level 3 diploma in electrical installations.

    What should you consider when hiring an electrician?

    To ensure you hire a reputable electrician, you should check any online reviews to ensure they are trustworthy and reliable. This will offer complete reassurance that they will perform electrical work to a high standard. Another important thing to consider is whether they are able to self-certify their work in line with the Part P electrical safety regulations. Only electricians who are registered with a competent persons scheme can self-certify electrical work. The best way to determine this is by asking the electrician or checking the Registered Competent Person Electrical website, where you can find a list of qualified electricians who can self-certify work.

    Does an electrician need insurance?

    Yes, any electrician working in a domestic or commercial property must have insurance in order to protect themselves and the customer. The most common type of insurance is public liability insurance which protects all parties in the event of an injury, accident or property damage. Electricians must have a minimum level of employer's liability insurance which covers all employees working on site. They may also have tool insurance which will cover all associated costs if any tools go missing, are stolen or damaged.

    How much does an electrician charge per hour?

    An electrician's hourly rate varies depending on where you live. However, on average, you should expect to pay anywhere from £21 in Scotland up to £50 in London. This may increase if you require an emergency electrician, as they tend to work out of hours and will therefore charge more for their services. Again, this will be dependent on your location.

    How do you know if you need a house rewire?

    A complete house rewiring will be required if you live in an older property that has not had new wiring fitted in the last 25 to 30 years. The wiring will most likely be outdated, and therefore an update will be necessary to ensure your home's electrics are safe and efficient. If you are renovating your home, you will more than likely need part or all of your property rewired. The same rules apply to a property extension, as this is classified as new work, which therefore must comply with the Part P electrical safety regulations.

    What are the main jobs of an electrician?

    Electricians are responsible for any jobs that involve electrical inspections, testing, repairs and installations. This includes work in homes, businesses, and industrial premises where they ensure that all electrical components function correctly and are completely safe while also complying with electrical regulations.

    Is an electrical safety certificate a legal requirement?

    An electrical safety certificate is a written declaration that showcases evidence of safe electrical works. This is a mandatory requirement for homeowners and landlords who are having any new electrical work installed. An electrical safety certificate must be issued by a registered electrician listed under the government's competent persons scheme.
