Hi all,
Sorry, another ‘how much does it cost’ thread.
I’m trying to get a feel for how much it costs to rewire a 2 / 3 bed terraced house (less the kitchen). The specification is pretty much as follows (basic white fittings) -
27 Double Sockets
12 Light Switches
8 Single Lights
1 Bathroom Light circuit including shaving socket, heater and extractor fan
Mains powered smoke detectors (4 of)
1 Consumer Unit
1 Certificate
There are a few websites that give a ballpark figure for a rewire, but my circumstances are different in so much the house is gutted therefore there is no need for a sparky to lift floorboards, chase the wires into plaster etc (I would have thought that this is a large proportion of a rewire work?), just to do the rewiring.
I’ve got a couple of quotes so far (a) £3820 (including VAT) and (b) £3000 (including VAT)
Also again as an estimate, how many man hours would it take to rewire a 2 / 3 bed house?
I’m not great fan of touching anything electrical, but is it relatively easy to a DIY’er to pull out the old wiring?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
