What the Fylde coast typically pays
We checked what electricians advertising in Blackpool, Poulton, Cleveleys, Fleetwood and Lytham were quoting in November 2026, and where we sit. Cheapest isn't always what it looks like, and we'd rather you compared like with like.
| Job | Advertised locally | Fylde Sparks | What's behind the difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| EICR, 3-bed house | £88 to £160 | £150 | The cheapest advertised locally are volume operators doing several a day. Ours includes a 48-hour report, a phone call to explain the codes, and no surprise "remedials" invoice. |
| Consumer unit replacement | £450 to £650 | £495 | Ours is a metal unit with RCBOs on every circuit, surge protection where needed, building control notification and the certificate. |
| EV charger, 7kW | £650 to £1,000 | £849 | The low end usually excludes the charger itself or the earthing work. Ours is supply and fit, charger included, standard cable run. |
| Full rewire, 3-bed semi | £2,000 to £5,500 | £4,200 | Anything under £3,000 for a three-bed is a partial rewire or excludes making good. Ours is itemised so you can see exactly what is in. |
| Hourly rate | £31 to £65 an hour | £75 first hour, £55 after | Directory "from £31" rates are rarely what you pay. We bill the first hour of fault finding higher because most faults are found and fixed inside it. |
Our price promise
- No fee to quote. Surveys and written quotes are free, every time.
- Fixed means fixed. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice unless you change the job or we find something hidden, and then we stop and show you first.
- Like-for-like, we'll match it. Bring us a written quote from another NICEIC or NAPIT registered firm for the same specification and we'll match it or tell you honestly why we can't.
- Landlords and repeat customers get the same price on the fifth job as the first. No "new customer" rates.
How we price
Materials at trade cost plus a fair margin, labour at a day rate that hasn't been "from £45 an hour" since 2010 because that figure never covers the real job. The quote lists both. If we find something we didn't expect once we've started, we stop, show you, and price it separately; you decide.
We don't charge to quote. We don't do "while we're here" upselling. And if a job can be done cheaper by not doing part of it, we'll tell you.
