How Much Does a House Rewire Cost in the Forest of Dean?
Across the UK a full rewire on a three-bed house usually lands somewhere between about £4,000 and £7,000. Round here it tends to sit in the middle to upper part of that, because so much of the Forest housing stock is older solid stone rather than modern blockwork, and stone takes longer to work in. A smaller two-bed can come in under it. A large or listed property can go well above.
What actually moves the number is the size of the house, how many rooms and circuits you want, how easy the floors and lofts are to get into, and how much making good is needed afterwards. Anyone giving you a price down the phone without seeing the house is guessing. We look at the property, tell you whether a partial rewire would do instead, then put one fixed price in writing before anything starts.
Solid walls cost more
Stone and older solid wall property takes longer to chase and make good than modern blockwork. That is the main local difference.
Partial is often enough
Plenty of houses only need part of the installation renewing. We will tell you if yours is one, even though it is the smaller job.
One written figure
A fixed price agreed before we start, not an estimate that grows once the floorboards are up.
Your questions, answered
Is a partial rewire much cheaper?
Usually yes, often around half, because you are renewing part of the installation rather than all of it. It only makes sense if the part you keep is genuinely sound, and we test before recommending it.
Does the price include making good?
Ours does. Chasing is filled and left ready to decorate. We are clear about what is and is not included so you are not comparing two quotes that mean different things.
Why do quotes vary so much?
Usually because they cover different work. One may include a new fuse box, extra sockets and making good while another does not. Ask each electrician exactly what is in the price before comparing the numbers.
