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.

    Seems to be a problem counting spaces . These will have light/ power in them? A little bit more than six unless you do not count the loo's , hallway and corridor. Not sure how some have  decided the house was "modest"....there are en-suites and "family room", suggesting a bit more than your usual two up two down. Also, not forgetting, a very discerning client who will likely be keeping taking note of the procedure.?


    Perhaps if competitiveness is your bag, you could do it "DNO Stylee"
    1. Take full payment upfront

    • Joint new cables onto old.

    • Tarmac the chase's in.

    • Bond the TV aerial and lead flashing.

    • Leave temporary walk-boards over the excavations in the floors for weeks on end, until someone returns to back-fill.
