Rewiring a house, cost advice please

davidwalker2 over 5 years ago

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.

As Lisa says above it depends what the contractor is being asked to do. If means moving furniture, lifting carpets and floor coverings, lifting floor boards or sheet boards, chasing out and making good, digging a trench to a garden building and running out 60m of SWA to a consumer unit and final circuits, 40 down lighters and 50 sockets, separate circuits for oven and hob etc then not a bad price.
