Full or Partial Rewiring

As a 2025 UK guide, a rewiring project typically costs between £2,500 and £6,000. The biggest factors are full house vs partial rewire, property size and number of circuits, and consumer unit upgrade and any EV charger. These are guide figures only — the best way to get an accurate price is two or three quotes, which our free matching service arranges for you.

Most rewiring project projects take around 3–10 days on site, plus design time and any approvals beforehand. Your matched specialist will give you a firm schedule once they've seen the project.

Warning signs include an old fuse box without RCD protection, rubber or fabric-insulated cabling, frequent tripping, scorch marks or too few sockets.
