How much does a typical house cost to rewire?
(Steve) wrote in message . com...
Hello all,
Hopefully someone can help. I am about to purchase a standard size
three bedroom house (1 kitchen, 1 living room, 3 beds, 1 bathroom, 1
dining room, hall, landing). What would be the typical cost of a
re-wire for this type of house? I know you can only give an approx
figure at best, but I have absolutely no idea how much this type of
work costs.
Cheers.
Difficult to say because it depends on what you want in place, and how
fussy you are about making good, concealed rather than boxed in
wiring, etc.
As a guide for London area, £50 per outlet, be it a socket, lamp or
fixed appliance such as immersion heater. Don't forget things like
the boiler wiring, garage, exterior lighting.
Then allow say £200 for the CU.
If you want generous provision you'll end up around 30 sockets, 10
lamps plus CU, so £2500 would be a reasonable guess.
This is what ours cost a few years ago in a similar property (a little
less actually since we had sockets only to do, and prices only go
upwards...) and took 3 days of pretty hard work by two guys.
