Electrical prices in South West London (2026)
Indicative ranges based on current SW London trade pricing. We always confirm a fixed total in writing before any work starts — no hourly clock-watching.
| Job | Typical price | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| EICR for a 1–2 bed flat | £120–£180 | Typical domestic inspection and test; price rises with circuit count, access difficulty, and older wiring. |
| EICR for a 3–4 bed house | £180–£350 | Common for family homes in SW/KT/SM/TW; includes inspection of sockets, lighting circuits, consumer unit, earthing and bonding. |
| Replace old fuse box with modern consumer unit (6–8 circuits) | £350–£500 | Budget end for smaller properties; usually fixed-price and takes most of a day. |
| Replace old fuse box with modern consumer unit (10 circuits) | £470–£650 | Most common full consumer unit swap for average homes; includes testing and certification. |
| Replace old fuse box with modern consumer unit (12+ circuits) | £610–£850 | For larger homes or properties with more circuits, RCBOs, or remedial testing issues. |
| Add or replace a standard socket outlet | £90–£160 | Typical price for one socket on an existing circuit, assuming easy access and no chasing out. |
| Replace a light switch or fused spur | £75–£140 | Common small repair; price depends on whether the back box or wiring also needs attention. |
| Call-out / minor electrical fault diagnosis | £80–£160 | Often charged as a minimum visit fee; extra labour or parts are added if the fault is found and fixed. |
Prices include parts and labour where stated. £60 call-out fee applies; out-of-hours and weekend work may carry an unsocial-hours uplift, agreed up front.
What we see most often in SW London homes
The housing stock across SW, KT, SM and TW postcodes is a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, mansion blocks and newer flats — each with its own recurring faults. These are the ones we attend most often:
- Old consumer units and mixed-era wiring in Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with outdated protection and poor previous alterations.
- Loose or cracked sockets and switches in period properties where plaster walls have moved and fittings have been repeatedly replaced.
- Low-pressure / shared-service issues in mansion blocks and converted flats where communal electrical risers or landlord-limited access slow remedial work.
- Damp-related faults in basements, side returns, and ground-floor rooms where moisture affects sockets, lights, and junctions.
- Overloaded circuits in 1960s–1980s flats and maisonettes with too few sockets for modern appliance loads.
- Incomplete safety upgrades after loft conversions, kitchen refits, or HMOs, including missing RCD protection or non-compliant bonding.
Brands and parts we work with
We carry common-fault parts on the van for the brands found in most SW London properties, so most jobs are resolved on the first visit.
DIY or call a pro?
Honest guidance — sometimes a YouTube tutorial is enough, sometimes calling us is the cheaper option once you factor in damage and time.
- Safe DIY: swapping a lamp shade, replacing a blown plug fuse, or resetting an RCD once only after identifying a simple plugged-in appliance fault.
- Call a qualified electrician: any repeated tripping, burning smell, scorch marks, buzzing, loose sockets, or signs of overheating.
- Call a qualified electrician: EICR testing, consumer unit replacement, new circuits, and any work in kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoors.
- Do not DIY: opening a consumer unit, altering fixed wiring, or working on circuits if you are not competent and test equipment is not available.
How the job runs, from call to invoice
- 11. Book the visit and describe the symptom, property type, and postcode so the electrician can estimate time and likely parts.
- 22. Arrival and initial visual check of the consumer unit, sockets, switches, earthing, and any obvious signs of damage or overheating.
- 33. Diagnosis and testing, which may include insulation resistance, continuity, RCD tests, polarity checks, and fault-finding at the affected circuit.
- 44. Written quote or fixed price for remedial work, with separate pricing if additional faults are discovered.
- 55. Carry out the repair or replacement, such as changing sockets, repairing wiring, or installing a new consumer unit.
- 66. Test, label, and certify the work, then tidy up and remove old parts and debris.
- 77. Issue the invoice and, where relevant, the EICR or electrical installation certificate with any remedial notes.
