Cost of a House Rewire FAQs
How much does a full house rewire typically cost?
As a guide, here’s what our customers usually pay:
- 1-bed flat: £2,500–£3,500
- 3-bed semi: £3,000–£5,000
- 4-bed detached: £4,500–£6,500+
These prices include labour, materials, certification, and making good to a safe standard. The final cost is shaped by your property’s size, access, and specific requirements.
We’ll never quote blindly. We always carry out a home visit or video assessment before providing a fixed, transparent quote.
What affects the price of a rewire?
- Size and layout of your home
- Whether the house is occupied or vacant
- Access to floors and walls (solid floors can take longer)
- Whether your consumer unit (fuse board) also needs replacing
- The number of sockets, switches, and lighting points
- Any extras, like garden lighting or EV charger prep
We’ll talk you through these during your quote so there are no surprises.
Can I reduce the cost of my rewire?
- Vacant property? You’ll save on labour time and protection measures.
- Combine trades. Doing plastering, decorating or other renovations? Timing things together can reduce costs.
- Phased work. For larger jobs, we can break things into manageable chunks if you need to spread the budget.
We’re flexible and will always find a solution that works for you.
How disruptive is a rewire and how long will it take?
We typically allow:
- 3–5 days for smaller properties
- 5–7+ days for larger or more complex layouts
Yes, we’ll need to lift floors and chase some walls—but we use dust sheets, clean as we go, and always treat your home with respect. We’ll work around your schedule and explain every step in advance.
If you’re living in the property during the work, we’ll plan carefully to keep at least one room usable at all times.
What’s included in your quote and are there any hidden costs?
- Labour and materials
- Full testing and NICEIC certification
- Removal of old cabling and consumer unit
- Making good to a safe, plaster-ready standard
No extras unless we agree it together first. If we discover anything unexpected during the job, we’ll show you and talk through the options.
Do I have to pay everything upfront?
- Deposit to secure your booking and materials
- Milestone payment halfway through (e.g. first-fix complete)
- Final balance after full testing, sign-off, and your approval
We’ll confirm the payment schedule before we begin—no surprises.
Do I really need a full rewire or can parts be upgraded?
We only recommend a full rewire if it’s truly necessary—based on age, safety, and compliance.
