The cost of rewiring a house in the UK can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the size of the property, the complexity of the electrical system, the number of rooms, and the extent of the rewiring required.

As a rough estimate, the cost of rewiring a house in the UK can range from £2,500 to £6,000 or more. However, it's important to note that this is a general estimate, and the actual cost may be higher or lower based on individual circumstances.
Here are some key factors that can impact the cost of rewiring a house:
- Property Size: Larger properties with more rooms will generally require more electrical work, which will increase the cost.
- Complexity: If your house has a complex electrical layout, such as multiple floors, extensions, or outbuildings, it may require more time and materials, leading to a higher cost.
- Access: The accessibility of electrical wiring within the walls and ceilings can also affect the cost. If access is difficult, such as in older properties with solid walls, it may require more labour and time, thus increasing the cost.
- Decorative switches and sockets: You may prefer the look of a decorative finish to your sockets and switches rather than just white. The cost of these additional components and any additional labour will also contribute to the overall cost.
- Electrical Regulations: Compliance with electrical regulations, such as installing RCD (Residual Current Device) protection and updating the consumer unit (fuse box), will add to the cost.
- It's essential to ensure that the electrician you hire is registered with a competent person scheme, such as NICEIC, as this ensures the work will comply with the relevant safety standards and regulations, we are registered under the NICEIC and can sign off all domestic electrical work.
