How to Write a Professional Electrician Quote

12 July 2026

What to include in an electrical quote

A professional electrical quote should include your company details, NICEIC registration number, a clear description of works, itemised pricing with materials and labour separated, VAT breakdown, payment terms, and a validity period.

Pricing your electrical work

Most UK electricians charge between £40–£60 per hour for standard domestic work. For larger jobs, consider quoting a fixed price based on your estimate of hours plus materials with a small contingency.

Common mistakes to avoid

Don't lump everything into one line item — customers want to see what they're paying for. Always include your Part P compliance statement and NICEIC/NAPIT registration. And always put a validity date on your quote (14–30 days is standard).
