What would yours cost?
Those are the usual ranges. Tell us what's wrong and we'll tell you the price for your home.
What affects the price?
- Building and circuit complexity
- Access and business-hours restrictions
- Testing and certification scope
- Materials, containment, travel, and VAT
What's included in the price?
- Only the labour and scope itemised in the written quote
- Testing or certification where the quote expressly includes it
How long does it take?
Duration depends on the inspected or installed scope; ask for a written programme where shutdowns affect the business.
Do I need one?
The Electricity at Work Regulations require electrical systems used at work to be maintained so far as reasonably practicable to prevent danger; the necessary inspection and maintenance regime depends on risk and the installation.
How do you avoid overpaying?
- Define the same scope for every quote
- Plan safe shutdowns and access in advance
- Ask for labour, materials, testing, certification, VAT, and exclusions separately
