Massive variations for rates. You probably need a certified electrician to provide a new circuit, test and certify for building regs. Big ballpark £100 ph, sounds ridiculous as a day rate though. Armoured cable is not cheap either.
Also worth remembering that it's winter (so less pleasant to be outdoors) and there are also a lot of people getting ev chargers installed so the people who can handle this type of job are in demand right now.
This channel talks about pricing more than most. The second video he has a spreadsheet of prices to compare. Comments will give you an idea of what people think too. There is a big spread right now on prices though.

Hes a tit that guy, how he's got 180k followers on YouTube is beggars belief.

I watched some of the first video and it's nuts that people are paying pros to come out, drive to wholesalers etc. just to change a pendant. Also mad that you'd pay for a whole rewire then leave knackered old Bakelite lamp holders in place to trip the consumer unit. Talk about an ha'porth of tar...

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?
