Need a full Re-Wire Quote

flambo33

Hi Folks, I'm looking for a quote or if you know any good sites I'll likely get one, Thanks!

We have a 2 bed semi-detached property with old electrics in need of a full re-wire, including a rcd/distribution board & lights. The current state of the house makes everything easily accessible with floorboards ready to come up upstairs & downstairs ect, We would like to keep chasing out to a minimum however where it's required, it's required. we're after all white fittings and we also need all sockets and switch sinking into the brick as they currently protrude from the wall. We're also hoping the work can be done in under a week.

Lounge: 5 Double sockets
Kitchen: 5 Double sockets, Cooker point, 1 socket under the worktop
Top stairs/Landing: 1 Double socket
Bedroom 1: 5 Double sockets
Bedroom 2: 3 Double sockets
Bathroom: Shower Point


We'd also like a double socket put into an outbuilding that's attached to the kitchen.
Hoping someone could give us a quote for the work we're in the CV11 Area of Nuneaton, Midlands.

You recommend a company that has misleading / false company information on there website ( there real name) not misleading non existing LTD T.A., A director that has dissolved 6 companies (some very quickly and electrical ) uses a mobile only contact number to me they all point at avoid like the plague? To you its points at recommend them are you related to them ? Or just clueless about business warning signs?

Week empty property pay through the nose you,d get it done (team upstairs and down ) Anything else I’d say 2- 4weeks for small firm one two employees

No, he asked for someone who does a good job near to him and that's what has been recommended to him. If you bothered to look properly, there's an address the op can check that's a five minute drive from his home address. All he needs to do is drive down in the evening and he'll see the company van at the address.

You guys seem to be overestimating the times here, I've had a few quotes come back now MAX time has been 5 days... its a 2 bed rewire with all the floorboards ready to come up. The only actual work that really needs doing is laying the cables and wiring up all the bits? I've worked on sites before and see how fast sparkys can chasing out ect, Tbh i fail to see how it could take 5 days but eh, what do i know

2-4 Weeks to rewire an empty 2 bed is just ridiculous

I agree, 2-4 weeks is absurd


I'm having a 3 bedroom flat rewired, most of it will be done over the weekend, they will be coming back to finish of the sockets/switches once the plastering has been done

Very little apparently.

There is a lot of work in it so unless there is serious manpower present then five days is not realistic.
