How much to fit a light in the garage?

Question

No power out there at the moment. What would an electrician charge to run it in and add a light and a couple of sockets?

Michael · Answer

It depends on a number of factors including how easy it would be to incorporate the power into the existing ring main. Then spur and fuse down for the light. Or install a separate mini fuse board and take two separate circuits from this. Type of cable and quality of fixtures and fittings would effect price. I would say anything under 500 would be reasonable

Michael · Answer

This all depends on what set up you currently have, due to needing a power supply out there it all comes down to how far away the run is from the house to the garage, also what light you was after etc, after labour and some materials you could be looking between £200-£400

Morning.

This would depend on quite a few factors:
Is there already a light and it's just a replacement? In which case call out fee + price of light would cover it maybe £75.
If no light, is there power in the garage already? Or a consumer unit? Assuming space in the unit and depending on the length of the run, perhaps £200 based on 3 hrs labour + materials

Hi .

This would all depend on how far the property’s fuseboard is to the location of the garage ? Price may vary drastically if it’s detached or away from the main property - let’s assume it’s attached to main property with the fuseboard being directly next to the garage - in this instance the price would be around £600 to install 2x sockets 1x light and switch. More information would be required to give a more accurate estimate .
Thankyou

Where is the consumer unit located? 
Lengths of run/route to garage ? 
Number of points being served in garage ? 
These are all factors of the price.

Hi 
The cost will depend on a few key factors:
Distance from the consumer unit (existing fuseboard) to the garage.
The possible cable route - buried underground, or clipped on wall, etc.
Is there a spare way in the existing conumer unit (to install the garage circuit on). If not, the current fuseboard will probably need replacing with a larger one (more ways).  
If this info can be provided it will allow meaningful quotes.

Any quote will have to cover:
- parts required in any case: cable + small garage fuseboard incl. circuit breakers for sockets & light circuits, the sockets & light fitting.
- labour, of which the main part might be to install the cable between main property and garage
- testing and certificate for the new circuit

Thanks, Cristo

Depends on who you go for honestly we would charge £109.00 for first hour of labour, then in 15 minute blocks. Comes with a full report of what was done.

In terms of the type of light
Standard LED Battens / Strip Lights (£10 – £25)
Deformable Screw-In LED Bulbs (£10 – £25)
Premium or Sensor Integrated Battens (£35 – £70)

If you want to go a bit fancy these are usually car detailing, customising or sales garages.
Custom Hexagon / Honeycomb Grid Detailer Lights (£65 – £130+)
