Domestic electrical work, done properly
Hour Electric is a York electrical services business built around the everyday jobs in people’s homes: sockets, switches, light fittings, extractor fans, outdoor lighting and faults. Your visit is carried out by one of our selected local electrical partners, who turn up when you expect them with the tools and common parts for the jobs you’ve described. Hour Electric handles the booking, payment and support.
Built for small jobs
Most electrical contractors are set up for bigger projects. That’s fine, but it leaves homeowners in York struggling to get anyone interested in a cracked socket or a single light fitting. We’ve designed the whole business around that gap. Small jobs aren’t a favour here. They’re the work.
If you’ve got a handful of things to sort, put them all on one booking. Read more about small electrical jobs in York.
One price for the list, from £89
Rather than a quote for each job, you tell us what needs doing and we work out the price: one small job from £89, a list of small jobs from £109. Your electrician works through your list in the order you set. If something needs longer, you can add time on the day where available, or we’ll arrange a separate quotation for larger work. See how pricing works.
Booked online
Pick a date, choose a morning, afternoon or evening arrival window, describe each job, add photos if you like, and add a card to confirm. You get a confirmation straight away and your electrician’s details before the visit. Nothing is charged until after the visit. See how it works.

Questions about booking an electrician in York
How much does an electrician cost in York?
Simple prices, shown before you book and charged after the visit. Tell us what needs doing and we work out the price. One small job the electrician can normally finish inside 30 minutes is a quick job at £89. A list of small jobs is a standard visit, up to an hour, at £109. A longer list books in 30-minute steps up to 3 hours, at £109 plus £39 for each further 30 minutes, and you see the expected labour price before you book. If a quick job runs over it becomes a standard visit for the difference, nothing more; any extra time on the day is agreed with you first. Materials are charged separately where required.
Will an electrician come out for one small job?
Yes. That is the quick job: one small job, up to 30 minutes, for £89. From a single damaged socket to a light fitting you’ve been meaning to get changed. If it turns out to need longer, it becomes a standard visit for the difference and nothing more.
Do you offer evening appointments?
Yes, where available. Evening windows run from 17:00 to 20:00 and can be selected when booking, subject to availability on your chosen date.
