FAQs about commercial electricial services

How does a commercial electrician differ?

Commercial and domestic electricians both provide services such as electrical repair and installation. However, commercial electricians specialise in non-residential properties. So, they usually work on more complex electrical systems.

Can a domestic electrician do commercial work?

A domestic electrician may be able to carry out some commercial work, but it depends on their training, qualifications and experience.

Commercial projects usually involve larger, more complex electrical systems, so it’s best to hire a commercial electrician who is experienced in working with business premises.

How much does a commercial electrician charge per day?

On average commercial electricians will charge £400 per day. However, the exact fee will depend on their level of experience.

Your location can also affect the cost, as you'll pay more if your commercial premises are in London or parts of the South East.

Can I do my own commercial electrical work?

No, you shouldn’t carry out your own commercial electrical work. UK law requires commercial electrical installations to meet strict safety standards, and only a qualified, registered electrician can ensure compliance with regulations.

Doing the work yourself could be unsafe, invalidate insurance, and put your business or employees at risk.
