Wilson Electrics’ Pricing Guide
At Wilson Electrics, transparency and accuracy are at the heart of everything we do. We have conducted thorough research to align these guide prices with current UK averages. While the figures below provide a robust framework, please remember that every property and project is unique: the complexity of the job, the layout of your wiring, access to work areas and the choice of fixtures can all influence the final quote.
This guide is intended to help you understand typical costs for common electrical tasks. It does not constitute a contractual offer, and final prices will be confirmed following a detailed site assessment. Use these figures to budget effectively, compare quotes, and appreciate the value of a thorough, professional service.
Please read our terms and conditions to understand what we do and don’t do and guidelines to make our services efficient. By accepting work, you agree to these terms and conditions.
Please ensure compliance with building regulations and understand responsibility for obtaining any necessary building warrants. For full guidance, read our building warrant guidance.

This single fee is added to your final invoice and applies to every project, except for dedicated testing and inspection services.

Wilson Electrics’ EICR service is deliberately positioned above the typical market rate to deliver exceptional thoroughness and real value. Over the past few years, an influx of cut‑throat landlord companies has emerged, targeting the rental market with rapid, under‑priced inspections that prioritise paperwork over practical safety. These operators often undercut genuine professionals, leaving landlords exposed to hidden risks and non‑compliance.
I take a very different approach:
- Full, 5–8 hour inspection: Every accessible circuit, protective device, earthing and bonding arrangement is tested and recorded—there’s no rushing through the paperwork.
- System familiarisation: I study the history and layout of your installation, noting any quirks or previous modifications, so my recommendations are specific to your property.
- Detailed reporting: You receive clear notes, photographic evidence of any concerns and practical advice on remedial work—far beyond the bare‑minimum tick‑box report.
- Long‑term safety focus: My priority is your tenants’ safety and long‑term compliance, not just completing a report for the cheapest price.
This rigorous method takes time and expertise, which is reflected in the guide price—but it also means you can trust that every circuit has been properly checked and documented, reducing the risk of hidden faults, future call‑backs and costly remedial work.
