House rewire - £3-5k fair?

Would have thought 3-5K reasonable considering its a skilled trade and a lot of compliancy involved

Had work done this week and found spark off one of them trade checker sites where you post a job, not mentioning which one. Had a few quotes and went with a company up North as the guy emailed me saying they were working this way for two weeks and could send one of there electricians over to take a look. We went with them as they were cheapest price tbh, i know cheapest isn't always best but in my case it actually was. They were fast, polite and gave us loads of advice. We ended up changing the old halogen flood lights for LED ones as the bulbs used to blow and i struggle with ladders. new lights look brilliant, would advise anyone to look at LED stuff if the tradesmen recommends it as we didn't know first thing about lighting before we were 'educated'. Anyway i will skip to the point, I was having general chit chat and the chap that worked on our property told me they do rewiring of 3 beds for under 2k and four beds under 2.5k including down south. Now considering they are from west yorks that's pretty cheap i would say based on sniffing around. I didn't tell them at the time but we are just about to push the button on a rental to get rewired and i never go into a gun fight with a knife as a general rule, can't be too careful with tradesmen these days can you? I think when the time comes I will be calling them as they are national (or work national) anyway. Have you seen London rates? $#%#$ rant over

:eek::eek:
