Approximate cost or rewiring a 3bed detached house?

Hi,
I know asking this question is like asking how long is a piece of
string, as it will depend on the spec of the rewire.
However I’m just after a ballpark figure based on a bog standard rewire,
nothing fancy.
The house has wooden floors (floorboards) & most inside walls are stud
partition.

What’s approx. the best & worst price for this type of property.

Thanks for any help.

Thats about the cost of a total rewire by Midlands Electricty or whatever
they are called these days. Also check because MEB don't chase out the
walls anymore, they just use mini trunking.

No.
However any fool can count sockets and plates and meters of wire and
come up with an answer, so one assumes the question is about gettng 'a
man in' to do it...

Yeah I was meaning if I got a company to do the job.
By the way I live in the north east of England (Newcastle upon Tyne) if
this makes a difference to the price

Cheers.

Ah, right.

I should think it would, compared with, say, London.

I'm glad we live in Leeds!

First I would make a detailed layout of where you want all you
skts/lights/switches etc (otherwise they could end up anywhere usually the
most convenient place for the sparky and not you!) and then get 3 quotes
from approved local companies.

Price's will start shooting up next year when the new regs come in so you
better get it done sooner than later.

Oh no - not MORE regs ... :-(

Why? What's going to cost more on a 'proper' job?

Actual extra costs? None, if the sparks is already registered with
NICEIC or similar - they'd be writing a small works sistificate anyway.
Opportunity to charge more? Definitely present: if the householder
wishes to follow the proposed Part P route to the letter, the cost to
them of (e.g.) adding a new radial to supply their loft, or
freezer-n-fridge, or similar small-n-sensible but beyond the 'small
works' threshold, will in future include the 80? quid for a Building
Notice inspection (which in practice will be done by a local sparks).
Thuz, it becomes sensible commercial practice for the local sparks to up
their prices by, say, half of that amount, since the "competition" has
just had their prices moved upwards.

You gotta love that nice Mr Prescott...
