What changes the price of house rewiring

My house rewiring service starts at the published rate below. Every property across Banstead, Epsom, and Sutton varies in layout and circuit requirements, so I confirm exact figures before work begins.

  • Covers the installation of new circuit cabling, back boxes, standard faceplates, and connection to the main board.
  • Covers initial inspection, isolation of old circuits, and full circuit testing upon completion.
  • Does not cover extensive plastering or structural redecoration after chasing brickwork or lifting floorboards.

What our price covers

Rewiring work replaces degraded conductors and modernises circuit protection throughout the property.

Included

  • Laying new twin and earth cabling for power and lighting circuits
  • Replacing light switches, switch back boxes, and double socket outlets
  • Installing dedicated circuit runs for high-load kitchen appliances
  • Connecting new circuit runs to a modern consumer unit with surge protection
  • Testing every new circuit and checking insulation resistance
  • Issuing official electrical certification upon job completion

Priced separately

  • Plaster skimming, re-boarding, or fine painting of chased walls
  • Laying new floorboards or fitted carpets removed during cable routing
  • Replacing main service cables owned by the network operator

Check whether a rewire is actually needed

Older housing stock across Surrey often runs on outdated cabling or consumer units that no longer suit modern demands.

Ageing rubber or lead cabling

Properties built before the 1960s around Wallington, Epsom, and Banstead may still have vulcanised rubber or lead-sheathed cables. These materials degrade over time, cracking inside walls and creating potential fire risks or short circuits.

Multiple additions on older boards

1930s semis in Nork, West Sutton, and Worcester Park often have decades of added circuits layered over an original board. When extra sockets, kitchen extensions, or shower units overburden older cabling, a partial or full rewire becomes necessary.

Major renovations or extension work

If you are stripping walls in Reigate or converting a loft in Burgh Heath, replacing original cabling while routes are accessible avoids cutting into fresh plasterwork later on.

How a rewire runs

I manage the entire rewiring process personally, keeping disruption to your home as low as possible.

Circuit planning and cable routing

Before cutting into walls, I review switch positions, socket counts, and floorboard access across your rooms. We confirm all layout details together before work starts.

First fix installation

I isolate existing power, run new cabling under floors and through wall chases, and fit back boxes for all light switches and socket outlets.

Second fix and final testing

Once plastering or surface prep is complete, I fit faceplates, connect the consumer unit, test all circuit runs, and supply the final documentation.

What you receive

Every rewire ends with fully tested circuits, durable accessories, and complete paperwork.

Replaced wiring and accessories

New copper conductors, modern insulation, and updated switch and socket faceplates fitted securely across your chosen circuits.

New consumer unit

A modern consumer unit configured with individual circuit protection and surge protection to keep your home installation safe.

Certificate for the completed work

Full electrical safety certification detailing circuit test results, insulation resistance readings, and verification of safe installation.

A clear making-good position

A straightforward agreement before work begins on how chased brickwork, lifted boards, and surface holes will be filled or left for plasterers.

House rewiring price questions

How much does house rewiring cost in Banstead?+

In Banstead, house rewiring typically costs around £5,000, with most local firms publishing between £4,275 and £5,425 across 12 towns. TMB Electrics charges £1,800 — the rate we quote from, confirmed on survey, not a lead-generation estimate.

How much to rewire a 2 bed house UK?+

Our rate for this work is £1,800. The price moves with access, the age and condition of the existing installation, and how much making good the job leaves behind — all of which we confirm before work starts.

How much to rewire a 4 bedroom house UK?+

Our rate for this work is £1,800. The price moves with access, the age and condition of the existing installation, and how much making good the job leaves behind — all of which we confirm before work starts.

Do I need to leave my home while the house is rewired?+

I can arrange the work in stages to keep power on in key areas where possible. However, lifting floorboards and chasing walls creates dust and noise. During a full rewire, staying elsewhere while heavy cable routing takes place often makes the job quicker and cleaner for you.

Can I keep my existing consumer unit when rewiring circuits?+

I inspect your board during the initial site visit. If your existing board lacks adequate RCD or surge protection, or cannot accommodate new circuit arrangements safely, replacing it alongside the rewiring work is necessary to comply with safety standards.

How do you route cables in older properties with solid walls?+

In brick or block walls common in Sutton and Reigate, I cut narrow channels called chases to conceal oval conduit and cabling. In listed or period homes like those in Walton on the Hill, alternative cable routes through floor voids or coving can be planned.

What is the difference between a full rewire and a partial rewire?+

A full rewire replaces every power, lighting, and appliance circuit in the building. A partial rewire updates specific sections, such as a newly extended kitchen or an old ground floor circuit, while leaving unaffected, safe wiring in place.

Why do prices differ between towns round here?+

Local housing stock is the main reason. 1930s bay-fronted semis around Winkworth Road and Ferndale Road, most now on their second or third fuse board Older or harder-to-access properties take longer, and that time is what a quote is mostly made of.
