What Can Affect Cost?
Electrical work is quoted against the property, access, materials and testing required. These are the main factors that can change the scope.
Property size and circuit count
More rooms, circuits, sockets and lights increase labour and materials.
Occupation and access
An empty renovation is usually simpler than rewiring an occupied, decorated home.
Making good
Chasing, lifting floors, plaster repair and decoration should be planned separately from electrical work.
Safety and Compliance Notes
- Old wiring does not automatically mean a full rewire, but it should be assessed properly.

View serviceFrequently Asked Questions
Straight answers before you book electrical work.
Do all old houses need a full rewire?
Not always. Testing can help decide whether a full rewire, partial rewire or targeted remedial work is appropriate.
Can rewiring be done during renovation?
Yes. Renovation projects are often the best time to update wiring before plastering, flooring and decoration.
Will rewiring include certification?
Electrical installation work is tested and certification is provided where required.
Can I avoid a full rewire?
Sometimes. Testing can show whether targeted remedial work or a partial rewire is enough for the property and intended use.
Is rewiring messy?
It can be disruptive, especially in finished homes. Planning the work during renovation reduces disruption and making-good costs.
