How we price
An electrician price guide is only useful if its numbers are real. Here is where ours come from and what they can and cannot tell you.
Where the figures come from
Every price range on this site is taken from a published UK cost guide or from electricians’ own published answers, and each page links to its sources. We last checked them in November 2026. When the sources disagree we show the range from the more detailed source and mention the other.
The sources publish UK figures (and separate London figures), not prices for Bolton or Wigan. We do not invent local averages, and we do not publish reviews or ratings.
What the ranges cannot tell you
The price of an electrical job depends on the house: its age, its wiring, the board, the access and how much making good is needed. A range tells you whether a quote is in the right area, not what your job will cost. For that you need an electrician to see the job.
How quote requests work
When you send a request we pass it to a local electrician who covers your area. They contact you, quote and, if you go ahead, contract with you directly. We are not electricians and do not carry out or guarantee the work, so always check an electrician’s registration and get the quote in writing.
