How much does it cost to rewire a property? This is a question we often get asked and to be honest, without looking at the property and discussing the requirements of the individual customer it is really hard to say, but hopefully the below will help and give you a bit of an idea.
When a customer has little idea about what they would like or how they would like it doing, it can make it tricky to be able to give an accurate price. However, when this is the case, we often say, if you budget £500 per room, it will be able to provide you with a rough ball park figure.
There are various factors to take into account when looking at rewiring a house and looking to request a quote. When you call TWB Electrical for a quotation for a rewire, here are a few factors to take into consideration:
– Sockets – how many would you like? Location of them? Where would you like your TV, kitchen appliances, lamps, Christmas tree and other items placing that may require power? Would you like white plastic sockets or would you like a more decorative socket eg brushed chrome, bronze etc. Also, would you like any of your sockets to have USB or USB-C ports
– Lighting – are you having pendants, or would spot lights look nicer and give a more appropriate level of lighting? Would you like a normal switch or would you prefer your lights to be dimmable? Another thing to bare in mind is if you have any shelves, stairs or a special feature that would look nice lit up with a hidden strip light or spots etc, see examples below. We also often install a 2nd option of lighting in a room to give yourself options to create different ambientes.
– TV & Internet – where would you like TV and internet points placed and how many? Do you like your music and might fancy some integrated speaks?
– Outdoor lights – Would you like outdoor lighting? Would you like them to come on via a switch or to come on automatically via a sensor? Are they for functional purposes or decorative?
– Security – would you like an intruder alarm, CCTV, door contacts or motion sensors?
– Smart home – would you like to upgrade to a smart home smart home? This would mean that we would install products that would enable your home to work autonomously. More information on this option can be found on the dedicated page on our website – Smart Homes – TWB Electrical we are approved installers for Loxone and approved partners with AOS who install Control4
