This is the small-job hourly rate once the scope is clear. The call-out can still be the normal £100 visit
or, for a very-local Brent/core-area like-for-like swap, the narrower £50 exception.
Small-job hourly rate:
£50 per hour once the scope is clear. The call-out is usually £100, with a £50
very-local exception only where the job already looks like a simple, low-risk swap.
What this usually means
-
Used for modest repairs, accessory swaps or tidy-up work on existing circuits where the likely task is
already fairly clear.
-
A good fit when photos and a short note already show the point, fitting or control that needs
attention and there is less chance of the job turning into wider fault finding.
-
Useful when you want to know how extra time is handled once work starts, rather than needing a fuller
written quote.
-
Best when the job still sits comfortably within a modest small-job visit and does not sprawl into
multiple decisions or multiple rooms.
What can change the price or scope
-
If the real problem is not yet clear, the job may start on the normal £100 call-out or, if it
genuinely fits, the very-local £50 exception before moving into hourly repair work.
-
Hidden damage, overheating, failed accessories or wider circuit faults can turn a simple-looking job
into a more involved repair or fault-finding visit.
-
Several points, multiple rooms, product choices or coordination with other work are often better
handled as a written larger quote.
-
Bathrooms, outdoor points, awkward access or non-standard accessories can add complexity before
booking.
-
If the work needs notification, certification or registered electrical delivery, that is explained
before anything is arranged.
