Complete re-wire of 3 bedroom house – fair price?

Dockers

Hi all,

I wonder if you could help please. I have received the following quote to re-wire a 3 bedroom mid terrace house in South West London:

1 x 100 amp consumer unit fitted with two 30ma RCD’s
20 x Twin Sockets
Switches for Immersion heater, boiler and Cooker point.
2 x Smoke Detectors fitted with interlink (Hall and Landing)
1 Ceiling light in each room plus 2 outside lights at the front and back.

All wall switches and sockets to be flush mounted into walls and making good to chases carried out. All necessary bonding to water and gas services carried out and site cleared of old electrical accessories and wiring on completion.

Total = £3,200 + VAT.

Your comments would be much appreciated

Many thanks and regards
Mike

Seems a bit on the high side, but maybe not for London. Did you get an itemised quote?

Complete rewire + 10 additional power points / sockets is currently being offered for £850 - South coast based

So Yes.. I think it is a RIP OFF!!!

Is this one of the from £850 offer, like alarms fitted from £99 until they come and quote, then its more like £500

Thank you for those replies. Unfortunately they did not break down the costs on the quote. I will get quotes from a couple of other contractors to see how they compare.

Thanks again.

I had my 3 bed house rewired last year & cost in the region of £3500. All walls were chased & made good afterwards & wiring/sockets supplied at cost as friend of a relative doing job.

I'm also London based & anything up to £4500 seems to be the going rate for a 3 bed property, going by the quotes I had.

Dockers

Thanks for that info cattie - as that price seems to be about right for the London area I will accept it.

Regards
Mike

I'm a SW London based sparks and that seems fair to me, esp with the making good.

Make sure of course you get all your certificates and the Part P cert too

3200 would seem about right for SW London then I would think.
