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.

    To be fair (I am assuming there's a long term friendly? rivalry going on here... ) both sides have humour.... but... in some countries (ahemerica) bonding the cable tv is mandatory and WILL be checked by the inspector.


    Here we tended to use isolators (to prevent the cabinet, maybe 300 yards or more away) introducing extraneous earth potential, possibly from a TNC-S supply that might even come from a different s/s.


    Recently i've noticed they don't seem to actually worry so much? or maybe the isolation's now at the cabinet end (easier to control for the cable co)
