Important: what this quote includes & what it doesn’t
Standard white fittings included
All rates include premium-branded, basic white fittings — sockets, switches, and light fittings from quality manufacturers (e.g. MK, BG, Legrand Logic+). This means clean, consistent, hard-wearing white plastic throughout.
Not included in this price: brushed chrome, polished brass, satin nickel, or any other decorative finish; USB charging sockets; data points; dimmer switches; smart/Wi-Fi switches; or any other upgraded accessory. All upgrades are available and priced separately — discuss at survey.
Supplying your own fittings
If you wish to supply your own light fittings, switches, or sockets, we will generally install them at no additional labour charge for like-for-like items within the agreed scope. Any items requiring additional work (e.g. complex chandeliers, non-standard back boxes, wired-in appliances) will be discussed and quoted separately. Please confirm before we start.
A plan is required before work starts
We need an agreed room-by-room plan confirming socket positions, switch positions, and light locations before work begins. This protects you and us: it means you get exactly what you expected, and there are no surprises mid-job.
If you are having a new kitchen installed, we must have the kitchen supplier’s final layout plan before we start. We will position sockets, fused spurs, and the cooker point to match the cabinetry plan. Any alterations to the agreed kitchen layout after we have wired it will require a return visit and may incur additional cost.
Changes to agreed plans will cost more
Once wiring has been installed to the agreed plan, moving sockets, adding points, or changing switch positions requires additional cable, chasing, and time. Variations from the agreed plan will be quoted and charged separately. Get the plan right before we start — the calculator and a pre-start survey are the best way to do this.
Chasing, concealing cables & core drilling — assessed at visit
The guide price above assumes surface-run or floor-void cabling with typical first-fix access (lifted floorboards, accessible roof voids). It does not include:
- Chasing cables into plaster or masonry walls
- Concealing cables behind stud walls or in conduit
- Core drilling through floors, ceilings, or walls for extractor fans or cable routes
- Timber or concrete floor work where screed must be cut
These items vary enormously by property type and finish. We will discuss and quote them precisely after viewing the property. A site survey is the only way to give a truly accurate figure for these elements.
Waste disposal — client’s responsibility
We do not hold a waste carriers licence. Old cable, back boxes, plaster debris, and any rubble or packaging accumulated during the rewire are the client’s responsibility to dispose of. We will leave the site clean, bagged, and tidy — but the final disposal or skip hire is yours to arrange. We can recommend local waste and grab-hire contacts if needed.
A site visit gives you a firm, accurate price
This calculator is a guide for budgeting — not a binding quote. Cable routes, access conditions, existing earthing, meter position, and many other factors affect the real cost. A free site visit lets us confirm the exact scope, fix the price in writing, and answer your questions before any work starts.
This is a guide price for budgeting purposes. A site survey confirms the exact scope, fixes the price, and lets us discuss cable routes, consumer unit position, and any access challenges.
How the pricing works
Per-point pricing: Every socket, switch, light, and fitting carries its own install rate (supply + labour within a full rewire). Adjust quantities with the ± buttons; the total recalculates live.
Circuits are added automatically:
- Each kitchen gets its own 32 A ring circuit and RCBO.
- Each utility room gets its own 32 A ring circuit and RCBO.
- Each floor gets one ring circuit (for all other sockets) and one lighting circuit (6 A, 1 mm T&E).
- Showers and cookers get a dedicated circuit — select the kW rating to see the RCBO size and cable gauge automatically.
Consumer unit: The number of circuit ways is counted across all floors and the appropriate CU size is costed automatically (2 spare ways always included).
Smoke & heat alarms: 1 mains heat alarm is added to each kitchen and 1 mains smoke alarm to each hallway / landing by default — adjust the count with the +/− buttons.
Spotlights: Tick “Replace lights with downlights / spotlights” on any room to swap pendants for downlights (default 4, adjustable).
Print / PDF: Use the “Print / Save PDF” button to generate a clean print layout that includes the full design and materials list.
