Seems high, I'm not in London (Bedfordshire) but had essentially the same job done in October, and it cost £595 total. Took about two days.
I think if you're running the cable more than a certain distance then it may need to be properly buried (600mm deep?) which might add to the cost - we didn't need that.

Thanks. They've told me it doesn't need to be buried so can't be that. It was c.£1,150 for fittings in the room itself, new consumer unit in there - it's an extra £1.3k to get the power line down to the room from the house, add a WiFi cable and one outside socket. It will be a reasonably difficult fitting I think but this still seems high to me - just trying to work out if there is a standard day rate for labour so I can see how long it takes to work out if it's high, or what

Any recommendations/experience on costs for an electrician in London?
We're building a garden office and to set it up with power they're talking £2.5k total (including running armoured cable down the garden). Seems a lot to me and the estimate doesn't help as there aren't numbers on each item, but wondered if I was missing something. What should an electrician day rate be?
