Are you considering rewiring your house but unsure about the costs involved? Rewiring is a crucial aspect of maintaining a safe and functional home, but the expenses can vary based on several factors. Here, we'll list the common factors that influence the costs of rewiring a house. The prices outlined in the table above are a general guideline, but to specify the price, we need to inspect the property to identify any additional costs.

Factors Influencing Costs

▶️ Property Size and Complexity:

Larger homes generally require more wiring, and complex layouts can increase labour time. The number of rooms, floors, and overall square footage all contribute to the complexity.

▶️ Number of Floors:

The number of floors or storeys in your home will determine the final quote. The prices given in the table above are based on 2 floors for houses.

▶️ Age of the Property:

Older homes may need a complete overhaul of outdated wiring systems. This can be a more intricate and time-consuming process, impacting the overall cost.

▶️ Occupancy Status:

Whether the house is occupied or unoccupied affects the pricing. Rewiring an occupied house might require additional precautions and accommodations, potentially leading to increased costs.

▶️ Accessibility:

The ease of access to wiring points can impact the labour required. Difficult-to-reach areas may necessitate additional time and effort, influencing the final bill.

▶️ Upgrades and Additional Work:

If you're considering additional electrical upgrades or modifications alongside the rewiring, these will naturally add to the overall cost, as outlined in the "What Does the Pricing Include?" section.

▶️ Plaster Patching:

We can provide complete plaster patching to all affected walls, which can be added to the quote as an additional cost if requested by the customer.

What Does the Pricing Include?

The pricings listed in the table above are a rough guide for a standard home rewire. A standard home rewire includes:

✅ 1 Consumer Unit with Internal Circuits:

Circuits that power outbuildings or outside lighting will incur additional costs.

✅ 1 Pendant with LED Lamp Per Room:

Spot lighting or multiple pendants will incur additional costs that will be detailed in the quote.

✅ 1 Bathroom Rated Light Fitting:

Each bathroom will be fitted with one suitably IP rated bathroom light fitting.

✅ 2 Kitchen Circuits:

✅ White Plastic Accessories:
