"Between £50 to £60 an hour and between £350 to £450 per day plus materials.

If it's a large job then you may be asked to pay for all the materials up front and then pay in stages over the course of the job"

"This fully depends on your area and job at hand. Materials are also an additional cost. Anywhere up-to £60 per hour for a skilled electrician who is competent to complete the work, at a reasonable price."
