Average Tradesperson Costs in East Lothian

Hiring a skilled tradesperson in East Lothian typically costs around £25-£45 per hour, or £200-£300 per day, depending on the trade, region, job complexity and materials involved. Day-rates and hourly-rates can vary significantly by trade and demand.

Most homeowners can expect:

  • Hourly rate: ~ £25-£45 per hour (depending on the trade and region).
     
  • Day rate: ~ £200-£300 per day for standard skilled work (could be higher in London/SE).
     
  • Fixed or project-based quotes are common for larger jobs (refurbishments, full room builds, extensions) rather than simply hourly.
     
  • Materials & subcontracted trades often add to cost — verify what the quote covers.

To get the best value, compare quotes from several tradesmen and tradeswomen in East Lothian, clarify what the job includes (labour only vs materials) and choose one whose scope and price align with your budget and schedule.

How to Choose the Right Tradesman in East Lothian

Before hiring a tradesman or a team of tradesmen, it’s wise to consider:

  • Read client reviews – See how previous clients rated their reliability, workmanship, communication and clean-up.
     
  • Check credentials – While not all trades legally require certification, look for experience, insurance, references, and relevant trade body memberships.
     
  • Compare multiple written quotes – Get at least three quotes to compare cost, scope (labour, materials, trades included), timeframe and payment terms.
     
  • Inspect the quote’s detail – What’s included/excluded: materials, prep work, waste removal, access, scaffolding, finishes?
     
  • Ask about sub-trades & coordination – For larger jobs, you may need a tradesman who can manage or coordinate other trades (electricians, plumbers, plasterers).
     
  • Check for hidden costs – Access difficulties, structural surprises, late finishes, hidden trades may add up.
     
  • Beware very low quotes – If a quote is far below averages, ensure you understand what’s being omitted (quality, materials, finishing, warranty).
     
  • Align the skills with job type – A general handyman is fine for small tasks; larger projects often require specialist tradesmen or a builder/trades-contractor.
     
  • Check timelines & clean-up – Good tradesmen minimise disruption, leave the site tidy and finish on budget/time.
