Send your request in London in one go, and you decide yourself whether to go ahead. A request costs nothing.
There is no fixed price for electrical work in London because every property and job is different. A consumer unit replacement or a full rewire depends on the size of the property, the age of the existing wiring, how easy the cabling is to access and whether walls or floors need to be opened up. Flats and houses in London often have different access challenges, which can affect labour time. The type of fittings and materials chosen also plays a part.
Most electrical jobs begin with an assessment of the property, either from photographs, a description or a visit, depending on what the electrician in London needs to quote accurately. Once a price and timescale are agreed, work is scheduled around access to the property and, for larger jobs like rewiring, how much disruption is acceptable. Simple tasks such as fitting extra sockets or lighting may be finished in one visit, while consumer unit replacements or eICR inspections can take longer.
When comparing electricians in London, check reviews where available, ask about insurance, and request a written quote that sets out the scope of work, materials and timescale. It helps to be specific in your request: mention the number of rooms, the age of the property, whether it is a flat or house, and any particular concerns such as an old consumer unit or outdated wiring. For landlords, mention if an eICR inspection is needed for a rental property. Clear details mean any electrician reviewing your request can judge the job accurately rather than guessing, which makes any quote more reliable.
There is no charge at any stage for describing your job or saving your request. Connected companies pay to be listed on the service, which is how it operates without charging the person making the request. This means you can describe rewiring, socket installation, eV charger fitting or any other electrical job without any cost or commitment on your part, regardless of whether a company in London has joined the service yet.
No, sending a request is entirely voluntary and does not commit you to anything. You are simply describing the electrical job you need done in London so that it can be saved on the service. There is no obligation to proceed with any work, no contract formed, and no pressure attached to submitting details. You remain free to look elsewhere, wait, or change your mind at any point. Providing an email address is optional but means you can be told if a local company joins and offers a price. Nothing further is expected of you once your request is saved.
You describe the job, for example a rewire, a new consumer unit, extra sockets or an EV charger, and tell us when it would suit you. The request goes to the independent local electricians in London that have joined Electrician Quotes. They can send you a quote.
Submitting a request is free and comes with no obligation. Only the companies that join the service pay a membership fee.
