? Do You Need to Pay a Call-Out Fee for an Electrician in Cambridge?
If you’re looking to hire an electrician in Cambridge, you might be wondering: “Will I be charged just for getting a quote?” The short answer is — not always. At Titan Electrical Ltd, we believe in being transparent about when we charge a call-out and when we don’t.
?? What Is a Call-Out Fee?
A call-out fee is typically a flat charge for an electrician to come to your property — often just to assess the job. Some electricians include the first hour of labour, while others charge this fee regardless of the work done.
? When We DON’T Charge a Call-Out Fee
At Titan Electrical Ltd, we’re happy to provide free site visits and quotes for:
- New sockets or lighting
- Consumer unit upgrades
- Kitchen or bathroom electrics
- EV charger installations
- Most small domestic jobs in the Cambridge area
We’ll come out, take a look, and give you a clear quote — no obligation, no charge.
? When a Call-Out Fee May Apply
We do charge a £90 call-out in the following cases:
- Fault finding or electrical testing
(This involves tools, testing, and time — it’s real investigative work) - Emergency call-outs or out-of-hours visits
- Jobs outside of our usual working area, which includes Cambridge and nearby villages
For fault finding, we’ll always assess in the first hour and let you know what needs to be done before continuing.
? Why It Matters
It’s important to know what you’re paying for — and what you’re not. Some companies charge just to show up. We don’t believe in that unless real work is being carried out.
We value transparency, fair pricing, and clear communication — and our customers across Cambridge appreciate that.
? Need a Quote?
If you’re unsure whether your job needs a call-out or not, just ask.
We’ll always give you an honest answer.
