Cost to rewiring a house

We keep the cost of rewiring a house as low as possible at all times. HomeRewire uses a quick and efficient pricing strategy, which allows us to inform you of your rewiring costs within 24 hours of our onsite survey.

Your quotation for the total cost to rewire is a fixed price. This means that your home rewiring cost will not alter unless you make changes to the specifications.

The price of rewiring a house is mostly derived from the timescale of the rewire, the manpower used, and the difficulty of the house rewiring job.

The average rewire in Scotland usually costs between £3,000 – £7,000. On this page, we will give you a detailed breakdown of what you need to know to accurately estimate your rewiring costs.

For a quick overview of the cost to rewire, the final quotation for your rewiring project is determined by many different factors, including:

• Access availability in the attic space or crawl space.
• Whether the home is occupied during the rewire or the property is empty.
• The type of property, whether it’s a house or a flat.
• The position of the property, if it’s a detached, semi-detached, terraced, or a top, middle or bottom flat.
• The fabric of the building. Some homes are constructed with plasterboard, which is easy to work with. Other homes are solid concrete, which can add significant time to the project.
• The period and age of the building and whether it has any delicate decorative features to negotiate, such as decorative cornices, high skirting boards, or finished floors.
• The specification of the electrical plan and the fixtures and extras you choose, such as decorative sockets, additional external sockets, or downlight fittings.
• Your location and any logistical challenges, such as parking.
• How quickly the work needs to be completed.
