What affects the cost of electrical work?
- Scope of work and number of points Electrical work is often priced per point, such as a switch, socket or light fitting. The number of points usually affects the price more than the floor area. List them clearly in your request.
- Condition of the electrical installation Old or damaged wiring requires more labour and additional safety precautions. Diagnostic work may also add to the final price.
- Materials The prices in the table cover labour only. Switches, sockets, cables, fuses and circuit breakers are charged separately. Check whether they are included in the quote.
- Concealed wiring Locating and cutting wall chases for concealed wiring, as well as restoring the walls afterwards, adds to the labour involved. Mention whether the wiring is concealed or surface-mounted in your request.
- Urgency and time of day Emergency call-outs and work carried out at night or on weekends and public holidays usually cost more. Check the applicable rate when submitting your request.
