Rewiring a house, cost advice please

davidwalker2
I would be very grateful for some advice about the cost of rewiring a house. I have a builder’s contract electrician quote a price of £6700 for the rewire of a house I have purchased in Devon.  It is terraced, has two bedrooms, lounge, kitchen/family room, loo, two en-suite bathrooms and includes a new cu.  Does this sound about right?  The builder is not taking a cut, he is happy to get paid for the work he is doing.

    Does sound a little on the expensive side to be honest but it entirely depends on what the electrician has quoted for.


    If the price includes 'making good' then I'd say its a more realistic figure as otherwise you'd be paying an electrician for the wiring part of the work and then separately paying maybe a carpenter and plaster etc to come along after to make good.
