Introduction
Electrician prices in London vary widely with the job, the timing and your area. Here’s an honest, up-to-date guide to what you can expect to pay in 2026 — and how to avoid overpaying.
Typical London Electrician Rates
Most London electricians charge either an hourly rate or a fixed price per job. As a 2026 guide, expect roughly £50–£90 per hour, or an £80–£150 call-out/first-hour fee. Emergency and out-of-hours work costs more, and fixed-price jobs are usually better value for anything non-trivial.
