What you pay for, and when
You pay for the electrician’s booked time. That covers travel within our service area, the normal tools and test equipment, and up to one hour of labour on your list.
You add a card when you book, but nothing is charged until after the visit. The visit, plus any extra time or materials you agreed on the day, is then taken from that card.
If the work clearly requires a longer appointment or separate quotation, we’ll let you know before additional work is carried out.
Materials
Parts such as sockets, switches and light fittings are charged separately where required. Your electrician carries common accessories and will confirm the cost with you before fitting anything.
You’re welcome to supply your own fittings, provided they’re suitable for the location and can be installed safely.
Pricing questions
Common questions about how much an electrician costs in York with Hour Electric.
How much does an electrician cost in York?
Hour Electric uses simple hourly booking pricing. A one-hour visit is £89, shown before you book and charged after the visit. If the work needs it and your electrician has availability, each additional 30 minutes is £35, agreed with you on the day. Materials are charged separately where required.
When do I pay?
After the visit. You add a card when you book so the appointment is confirmed, but nothing is charged until your electrician has been. The visit, plus any extra time or materials you agreed on the day, is then taken from that card.
What can be completed in an hour?
It depends on the complexity of each job, access, the condition of the existing installation and whether materials are to hand. Straightforward jobs like replacing a socket or fitting a light often take well under an hour. We can’t guarantee a set number of jobs, but we will work efficiently through your list and tell you if more time is needed.
Are materials included?
No. Materials are charged separately where required. Your electrician will confirm any additional cost with you before fitting parts.
What if the electrician needs longer?
If the work is taking longer than the booked time, your electrician will explain the options. That may mean adding extra time on the day where availability allows, or arranging a separate quotation for larger work. Nothing extra is carried out without your agreement.
