Central London postcodes (EC, WC, SW1, W1) command an additional premium on top of the already elevated London baseline. Many tradespeople add a zone surcharge for inner-borough work. All rates are for 2025 and represent typical market prices for competent, insured tradespeople. Always get three quotes for larger projects.
