How to read these prices: every figure is a starting price. We confirm the scope, price basis and unavoidable extras before booking.
No VAT is added to the prices shown
For an accepted job in our stated service area, £100 covers travel, attendance and up to the first 60 minutes on site for assessment, testing or agreed work. Further labour is £65 an hour, charged in 30-minute blocks of £32.50. Assessment and testing time is chargeable even when a fault cannot be repaired during the same visit. The charge covers attendance, professional time and the safe work carried out; it is not a guaranteed repair. A confirmed job-type price replaces this basis; it is not added to it.
The £50 exception is only for one simple, low-risk job in the very core of the Willesden Green area when the exact address and job details make the work clear before booking. It replaces the normal £100 first-hour price and covers attendance and the first 30 minutes on site. Further labour is £65 an hour in 30-minute blocks. If the job is different from the agreed details, we stop and confirm the revised price before continuing.
Emergency call-outs are subject to availability and are not guaranteed. Call first so we can check whether we can attend.
If attendance is available, the call-out fee is from £110 during standard hours, Monday to Saturday 08:00–18:00, or from £150 out of hours. This covers urgent dispatch, travel and attendance only. On-site assessment and work are then charged at £65 an hour in 30-minute blocks of £32.50.
The first 30 minutes on site therefore starts from £142.50 during standard hours or £182.50 out of hours. A full on-site hour starts from £175 or £215 respectively.
We confirm availability, an estimated arrival window, the safest next step and the price before agreeing a visit.
Routine low-cost van-stock consumables needed for the agreed work are included. For work priced at £100 or more, one basic white socket or switch is also included when it is already carried, suitable for the existing point and listed in the confirmed scope. A socket or switch is not included in the £50 exception.
Higher-cost, specialist, decorative or smart parts, and anything requiring a dedicated supplier visit or online order, are charged at their actual purchase and delivery cost. We do not add a material markup or charge for sourcing and collection time.
We confirm the cost before buying or ordering anything. If the part requires another visit, the confirmation itemises the part, delivery and return labour. Return labour is fixed where the scope is clear; otherwise it is charged at £65 an hour in 30-minute blocks. A return needed solely to fit the agreed ordered part is not automatically treated as another £100 first hour.
Supply-and-fit and written quotations override the general parts rule by explicitly listing what they include.
Price anchors
If a listed job-type price is confirmed, it replaces the normal basis; it is not added to it. We confirm which basis applies before booking.
Checks coverage and travel.
What is happening, where and what changed.
The affected point and wider area, safely.
Links or model numbers, if chosen.
Electrical work within residential and small commercial refurbishments needs an agreed project scope. Small-job hourly rates do not price refurbishment projects.
The quotation sets out the agreed rooms, circuits, fittings and work stages, with the assumptions and exclusions made clear. Changes to the scope need an agreed revised price before extra work begins.
Existing wiring, access and any site assessment needed help establish the scope. The quotation records arrangements for an occupied property, coordination with your builder and who handles opening up, plastering and decoration.
Electricians working for WSH carry out the electrical work, testing and certification. Any required registered-specialist responsibilities are confirmed in the agreed scope before work starts.
Tell us the postcode, property type and electrical work you are planning. Plans and safe photos are optional; include them if available. We confirm what needs assessing before preparing the written scope and quotation.

Common job examples
These are scope examples, not fixed-price packages.
One clear fitting or control change may suit a visit. Linked areas, new cables, bathroom work or making-good need a quote. Send useful area photos. See lighting ideas .
An initial check can clarify existing wiring. Layout, appliances, circuits, board capacity and trade timing need a quote. Send the layout, appliance list and useful photos. See kitchen rewire guidance .
One supported thermostat or receiver may suit a visit. Several zones, faults or unsupported kit need a quote. Send control photos and model names. See heating-control guidance .
One supported doorbell with clear power may suit a visit. Long cables, awkward fabric or wider camera work need a quote. Send entrance, chime and power details. See doorbell guidance .
One everyday task or routine may suit a visit. Multiple devices, network work or unsupported systems need a quote. Send who uses it, what feels awkward and current controls. See easier-living guidance .
Damage, older alterations or a fault needing diagnosis can change the work involved.
A suitable supply in the right place can keep doorbell, lighting and smart-control work simpler.
The chosen fitting or device must suit the current electrical and control setup.
Several linked areas take more planning and work than one contained point.
Solid walls and long cables can add time. Fully furnished rooms can take longer when large bookshelves, solid-oak beds or other heavy furniture restrict safe access. We confirm any effect on time or price before booking.
Account setup, signal checks or wider electrical work can add time and responsibility.
The confirmed price states its basis, included time, work, parts or devices, unavoidable charges and anything outside scope.
Travel for accepted jobs throughout our stated service area is included. Unavoidable parking, permit or congestion charges are passed on at actual cost only and confirmed before booking.
If the scope changes, we explain the revised price before extra work is agreed.
For work that needs electrical inspection, testing, certification or notification, we arrange the appropriate registered professional and confirm responsibilities before work starts.
Consumer-unit changes, condition reports, rewires and major alterations usually need a written quote.
