Example job costs

Price from real job shapes, not blank boxes.

These are guide ranges, not fixed prices. QuoteBuild helps you turn each job into a proper itemised quote with labour, materials, margin, and site-specific risks separated.

Why this matters

A client sees a clear explanation. You see whether the quote still works once access, waste, subcontractors, and variations are included.

Cost example

Consumer unit upgrade

£650-£1,500

Usually includes

Board, RCBOs or protective devices, testing, certification, labelling, and basic making good.

Watch out for

Long tails, poor earthing, bonding upgrades, and old circuits that fail testing can turn a swap into remedial work.

Cost example

Domestic rewire

£4,500-£9,500+

Usually includes

First fix, second fix, sockets, switches, lighting points, consumer unit, test certificate, and agreed making good.

Watch out for

Access, chasing, loft insulation, occupied homes, and client extras like downlights are where labour balloons.

Cost example

EV charger install

£850-£1,600

Usually includes

Charger fit, cable run, protection, commissioning, and basic certification.

Watch out for

Distance from board, external routing, load management, and groundwork for cable protection need pricing separately.

Common cost traps

Where electrician quotes usually go wrong

These are the cost drivers that turn a good quote into a weak margin.

Testing, certification, and making good are easy to miss because they do not look like a visible install line on the quote.

Long cable runs, concealed routes, and board upgrades are the jobs that quietly push electrician margins down if they are priced like a straight swap.

Client-requested extras are often tiny individually, but five extra downlights and a late socket move can wipe out the labour allowance.

Is this better for domestic or commercial work?

Both. It is strongest where you need to separate labour, materials, testing, and certification across smaller jobs.

Can I price rewires and EV charger installs from the same system?

Yes. It keeps repeat jobs fast without losing the job-specific extras that protect margin.
