📊 About these figures
Day rates shown are for labour only — materials, VAT, and any call-out charges are separate. Figures represent self-employed tradespeople working a standard 8-hour day.
📍 Why rates vary
Local cost of living, competition, and demand drive regional differences. London and the South East typically run 25–45% above the national midpoint; the North East and Wales 10–20% below.
🔄 How we update
Rates are refreshed monthly using current market data. Always get at least three quotes — treat these as a benchmark to know if a quote is fair, not as a fixed price.
