How Much Does It Cost to Install a Ring Doorbell?

£100 – £280

per job

Installing a video doorbell costs between £100 and £280, depending on the model and whether it is a wired or battery-powered version. Wired video doorbells that connect to your existing doorbell wiring are most straightforward; properties without an existing wired doorbell may need a transformer or new wiring run, adding to the cost.

What affects the price?

Model type - a battery-powered Ring or Nest doorbell is cheapest to install; a wired model requires connection to existing doorbell wiring or a transformer

Existing wiring - if a wired doorbell system is already in place, installation is straightforward; if not, a new transformer or wiring run is needed

Positioning and mounting - drilling into brick or stone takes longer than a timber-framed porch

Wi-Fi signal strength - if the signal is weak at the front door, a Wi-Fi extender may be needed for reliable operation

Labour vs materials

Installation typically takes one to two hours for a qualified electrician. Labour accounts for the majority of the cost; the doorbell unit itself is usually supplied by the homeowner.
