Why do prices differ in Edinburgh?
Scottish labour rates sit a little below the national average overall, but Edinburgh and central Glasgow price close to the UK middle — and Scottish compliance rules differ in places, which changes what the job includes.
Edinburgh's tenements — the dominant stock inside the bypass — mean shared stairs, common supplies and long vertical runs, and much of the New Town is Category A/B listed where consent constrains visible work. Tenement access and stair logistics add real time to jobs other cities do faster.
Nationally, a home EV charger installation runs £1,000–£1,000; in Edinburgh expect £900–£1,050. Get quotes from firms that actually cover your postcode — travel time is priced in whether you see it on the quote or not.
