For anything over £300, get 2-3 quotes. Compare scope, brand specifications, and warranty terms, not just the headline price. The cheapest quote often skips parts or uses budget brands that fail in 18 months.

Typically travel time, fuel, the first 15-30 minutes on site, and basic diagnostic work. Most electricians credit the call-out against the repair cost if the customer proceeds with the job.

1.5x to 2x is industry standard for after-hours, weekends, and public holidays. The reason: out-of-hours work pulls the electrician away from their family and disrupts their normal schedule.
