Questions about Pluggable: fixed-price electrician in Amsterdam
What does a job cost?
Every job has a fixed price on its own page, plus the €65 visit fee charged once per appointment. Add more jobs to the same visit and you still pay the visit only once. Every price includes 21% BTW.
Do you charge call-out costs?
Not on top. The €65 visit fee is the call-out, and we show it instead of burying it inside the job price. Travel, parking, the ladder and the test equipment take the best part of an hour before any work starts, and every trade charges for that somewhere. Ours is charged once per appointment, three jobs in one evening, one visit.
Do you charge by the hour?
No. Every job on this site has a fixed price, agreed before we arrive. A job that takes longer than expected costs you the same. That is the whole point. The total you see when you book is the total on the invoice.
Can the price change once you are here?
Only if the job turns out to be one of the conditions we publish on the homepage: no wiring point where you want the fixture, a new group needed in the meterkast, or new ducting. If one of those is there, you get a fixed price for the difference before anything starts, and you can say no.
Who actually does the work?
All electrical work is done personally by a qualified Dutch electrician, following applicable Dutch standards including NEN 1010. Handyman jobs are done by us too. There is no subcontracting and nobody you have not been told about turns up at your door.
Do you speak English?
Yes. The booking, the questions, the work itself and the invoice afterwards are all in English. Dutch is fine too.
When can you come?
Monday to Friday between 18:00 and 22:00, and Saturday and Sunday between 08:00 and 22:00, across Amsterdam. Send your jobs and a preferred slot on WhatsApp and you get a confirmation within 24 hours.
When and how do I pay?
After the work is done and tested with you, not before. You pay by iDEAL or card and the invoice follows. No account, no deposit.
Do you work outside Amsterdam?
Yes, with a €40 surcharge on the visit, because the travel is longer. Inside Amsterdam the travel is already covered by the visit fee.
Do I need to buy the parts myself?
Yes. The lamp, bracket, rail, socket or furniture is yours to choose and buy, and we fit what you have. Standard screws, wall plugs and connectors are included. Anything we have to fetch is passed on at what it cost, with the receipt.
