Why rewire an older home?

Old cable wasn’t built for today’s kettles, showers, and gadgets. A rewire brings wiring up to date and easier to look after.

Slightly more detail (safety, fuse box, rules)

We replace tired cable and fit a layout a competent electrician can test, certify, and maintain to current BS 7671 rules. A new fuse box (consumer unit) with the right protection goes with good cabling and earthing. Longer read: When to rewire (Knowledge Hub) and Rewire — advanced (detailed).

Guide only — start a conversation, not a fixed cap. Real rewire pricing needs a survey and visit. What the tools assume (advanced) →

What this price does not include
  • Plastering and making good after cable chasing — most customers arrange a decorator; we can recommend local trades.
  • Scaffolding or specialist access equipment for high or awkward areas.
  • Part P building regulation notification — we handle this, and it’s included in our quote (not an add-on).
  • Remedial work beyond the scope of the rewire — e.g. structural issues affecting cabling routes, or earthing upgrades on services we don’t own.
  • Furniture removal — though the “occupied” allowance accounts for working carefully around household items.
  • Parking costs in permit zones — a permit or bay suspension is the customer’s responsibility.

Indicative domestic pricing for planning — not a fixed quotation. The “occupied” guide allowance reflects extra time to coordinate access, protect furnishings, and sequence work kindly around your household or tenants. Commercial and mixed-use projects are priced after survey.
