RE-wiring of flat.

yaubelle

Hello

I was told it would cost at least £4000 to re-wire my 2 bed (73sq metre) flat in west London.

There is already a new fuse box in place. Does this amount sound reasonable? I have no idea about costs but it just sounds pretty high.

Thanks in advance

It sounds a litle expenive (maybe even double )

Thanks for replying.

This is a so called "trusted" electrician as well. I know nothing about electrics, but even that didn't sound quite right.

I shall look at the websites you recommended and also try getting someother quotes.

many thanks

Post your job on myhammer.co.uk I saved over 400 quid by using that site when having a new consumer unit fitted. Just make sure you say you need a part P certified sparky. You need to check this yourself as well - easy to do online though.
