Rewire cost

[Psmk222]

Any sparks on here that can give a rough estimate on the cost to rewire a 3 bed house with dining room and garage.. just a rough idea.... already had a quote of 8k...I know its hard to price without seeing it in the flesh but any thoughts are appreciated

Minimum £5k for the absolute minimum quantities of basic items.
Significantly more for decent installation.

Thanks for the reply and your time....its a bit more than a basic install.... we're getting outdoor pir floodlight extra sockets plus smoke alarms and heat sensors....I really like the guy that gave us the quote but just trying to get ideas...

I had to get mothers house rewired, in North Wales, and about as basic as you could get, was just under £3k, most estimates were over £5k, but I went for basic one for speed, and two as not sure what I was going to do with the house, move in and look after mother, rent it, or sell it.

I did all making good after the rewire.

You’ve got one quote. Get two more. The price will vary depending on your location which we don’t know.

It's impossible to quote. Location has some impact, but there are so many other factors (number of circuits, will the property be occupied, how many estimated days and so on) that affect the price. As advised get another couple of quotes.

are they chasing the cables in the walls, or putting it in conduit?

Yes there are conduits....my wiring is black and red with the material covering.

Do it properly, you want it all chased in.

That presumably depends on whether or not the existing conduit is buried and, if it is, whether new cables can be run through it?

Kind Regards, John

Does it matter? Take the old **** out and install new..

Conduit on the walls just looks awful and a half arsed job has been done by a local council or dodgy landlord

I agree - but, as I implied, conduit buried in walls is fine, if new cables can be got through it.

Kind Regards, John
