What affects the price
- Diagnosis time: intermittent trips can take longer to trace.
- Distance from the board: new points far from existing wiring need more cable and trunking.
- Concealed wiring: chasing walls costs more than surface trunking.
- Flat age: older flats may need more upgrading.
Safety first
Electrical work must be done or supervised by an EMA-licensed electrical worker. EMA has also required homes to have a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB); owners of older flats without one should get a licensed electrical worker to install it. See our guide to licensed electricians.
