HOUSE REWIRING FAQs
How much does a house rewire cost?
The cost of a house rewire typically starts from around £3,000 to £5,000 depending on the size, layout, and condition of your property. We provide clear, fixed quotes after a thorough inspection, so you know exactly what to expect — no hidden extras or surprises.

How long does a house rewire take?
Most full house rewires take between 2 to 7 days to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the property. We always work efficiently and aim to minimise disruption, keeping you informed throughout every stage of the process.
Do I need to move out during a rewire?
Not always, in some cases, particularly with smaller properties, it’s possible to remain in your home. However, rewiring is a disruptive job, so we’ll advise you honestly during the quote visit and help plan a phased or partial approach if needed.
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Common signs include outdated fuse boxes, fabric-covered or rubber wiring, flickering lights, tripping circuits, or sockets on skirting boards. If your home hasn’t been rewired in 25+ years, it’s wise to book an inspection to assess its safety.
Will rewiring damage my home’s décor?
Some disruption is inevitable as we need access to cables within walls and ceilings, but we take great care to minimise mess. We always discuss this upfront, use dust sheets and protective coverings, and leave your home clean and tidy afterwards.
Is rewiring safe?
Yes, when done by qualified professionals like us, rewiring is one of the best ways to ensure your home is electrically safe and compliant. We follow all the latest regulations (BS 7671) and issue certification for your peace of mind.
Can you future-proof my home for smart tech or EV chargers?
Absolutely, we design rewires with modern living in mind, including smart lighting, data cabling, and provisions for EV chargers. Future-proofing is part of our standard service to ensure your home is ready for whatever’s next.
