Cost of a Re-wire

[malana-3]

I am considering the purchase of a two bedroom bungalow with a total floor area of 61 square metres.Can anyone please give me a "Ball Park" estimate for it to be rewired, which I think it needs. Thanks in advance.

There is no such figure ...
Custom quote .. All places are different .. and to whatever spec is required (ie you may need extra shavers sockets, cooker and hob outlets, extra socket outlets, satellite and TV outlets, LAN cable putting in somewhere, etc
Work out what you need exactly to each room .. and get a few local quotes from recommended folks. To get recommendations .. ask local builders that you might KNOW.

just ask the seller if your electricians can have a quick look - as others have said depends on whether you want to upgrade on current installation

I had my downstairs ring-main rewired before Christmas - it cost £1400 for 9 replacement sockets and 2 completely new sockets with some movement for two of the replaced sockets. This was just sockets, not lighting and was carried out by British Gas.

1400 quid , for 100 quids worth materials. not a bad wage is it ?

I have ever mentioned sparkies are robbing Snags?

[TonyV]

Mick - do you know how much it is to registered with gas safe each year and how much each time an electrian is pay for all of his test equipment to be tested?
