Build your rewire quote

Tell us about your home room by room — sockets, lighting and extras — and we’ll send back a proper written quote. It takes about two minutes.

    What affects the cost of a rewire?

    Every rewire is priced on the property, but these are the things that make the biggest difference:

    • Size of the property — the number of rooms and circuits.
    • Number of sockets and lights — most older homes need far more sockets than they have.
    • Lighting — downlights and LED feature lighting take longer than standard ceiling lights.
    • Whether the house is empty — working around furniture and people takes longer than an empty or mid-renovation house.
    • Access — floor types, lofts and solid walls all affect how cables are run.
    • Extras — a new consumer unit, smoke and heat alarms, outdoor lighting, shower and cooker circuits.

    That’s why the quote builder asks about each room. It gives us enough to understand the job before we visit, so the written quote you get is accurate.

    What happens after you send it?

    1. We look through your requirements and get in touch to arrange a visit.
    2. We check the existing installation, access and anything that affects the work.
    3. You get a fixed written quote with a clear scope of work.
    4. We agree dates that work around you or your builder.

    Frequently asked questions

    How much does it cost to rewire a house in Cardiff?

    The price depends mainly on the size of the property, how many sockets and lights you want, whether the house is occupied, and access. Use the quote builder to tell us what you need and we'll give you a fixed written quote after a visit.

    How many sockets should each room have?

    As a rough guide: kitchens around six double sockets, living rooms four to six, main bedrooms three to four, other bedrooms two to three, and a couple in the hallway. It depends on how you use each room, which is why the builder lets you adjust them.

    Is a new consumer unit included in a full rewire?

    Yes, a full rewire normally includes a new consumer unit, and the builder adds it automatically. For a partial rewire we'll check whether your existing board is suitable.

    Can I use the quote builder for a partial rewire?

    Yes. Choose 'Partial rewire' and tick the areas you want doing, such as a kitchen, extension or loft.
