How Much To Rewire A House?
The basic rewire costs may be the same but the variables can easily double the actual rewire costs...
Electrical Rewire - How Much To Rewire A House?
We get enquiries in every day asking “ how much to rewire a house” and I have to tell you that there is no such thing as a fixed price to rewire a house.
I’ll try and explain it like this:
You could get an electrician, he rewires your house, he charges you £3k. The same electrician goes to the house next door, which is identical to yours, does a complete rewire and charge the homeowner £2,250.
 |
Now the question is, why did you pay £3k for your rewire when your neighbour only paid £2,250?
The answers is really simple, both rewire jobs were entirely different.
 |
It’s not rocket science to work it out. You might have had a dozen low voltage lights fitted, external security lights, electric shower, electric doorbell and chrome fittings whilst your neighbour had none of those things.
The basic rewire costs may be the same but the variables can easily double the actual rewire costs.
On average, you should expect to pay around £3k / £3.5k for a full rewire to a 3 bed property. That said, variables such as post codes will alter the rewire costs significantly. You can’t expect the cost of rewiring a house in central London to be the same as rewiring a similar house in a village in Yorkshire.

What Are The Variables That Drive Up The Cost Of A House Rewire?
The two variables that have the highest impact on rewire costs are location and specification.
When it comes to specifications here are some examples of additional works that increase the over all rewire costs substantially:
- recessed back boxes to all plug points and switches
- low voltage lighting (the recessed type)
- home automation systems
- intruder alarms
- wall mounted tv installations
- intercom system
- cctv systems
- smoke and fire alarm systems
- internal intercom
- audio feeds
- central heating programming and thermostats
- electric shower - needs a separate 6 mm circuit with isolator
- electric oven - needs another separate 6 mm circuit with isolator
- external socket for garden or shed - needs RCCB protection
- security lighting / garden lighting - need separate circuit
- workshop lighting and sockets - needs armoured cable supply
 |
Those are just some of the expensive add-ons that an electrician may have to do as part of the rewire. Other smaller jobs still help to rack up the costs. For example:
- light and switch to the attic
- shower extractor
- underfloor heating
- wall lights
- worktop lighting
- lighting under stairs
Just think that all of the items I have listed are in addition to the standard rewire so is it any wonder that no two properties have the same costs for a rewire.
