How much does a rewire cost in Reigate?
House rewiring starts at £1,800, and that figure carries a new consumer unit and the certificate with it.
- Plastering and decorating afterwards are yours to arrange, so allow for making good once the wiring is finished.
- A larger house holds more circuits and takes more days, and the written quote sets that out before the first board comes up.
House rewiring in Reigate
- A rewire replaces the fixed wiring of a house: the circuits, the fittings they feed and the consumer unit they run back to.
- A terrace that has grown twice while its wiring stood still is the clearest case for a full rewire.
- The job sits best next to an extension, a new kitchen or a loft conversion, while floors and walls are open.
- Where only the oldest part of a house has given up, that part alone is priced and done.
Reigate houses and what a rewire involves
- How long a rewire takes depends on the building, and Reigate offers four kinds that come up again and again.
- Cable is worked around the fabric rather than driven through it, which is slower and leaves original features alone.
- These gain the most: modern circuits, proper earthing and sockets in the rooms people actually live in.
- Often the board rather than the cable has run out, and testing settles which of the two you need.
What happens during a rewire in Reigate
A rewire runs across several days, and the house stays liveable throughout.
- 01
Walking the house before anything moves
Room by room, we mark where every socket, switch and light is going, because the cheapest time to change your mind is before a single cable is pulled. Ceiling roses, feature switches and where the television and the router will sit all get decided now. We also open the floor in one or two places to see what the original circuits actually look like, which is what makes the quote firm rather than hopeful.
- 02
First fix, room by room
New cable is run under floors and through the roof space with the house working around us, one area at a time, so you never lose the whole property at once. In a period terrace the boards come up carefully and go back down as they were. Old cable is stripped out as we go rather than left buried in the walls, because leaving dead circuits behind causes confusion for whoever comes next.
- 03
Second fix, the new board and testing
Accessories go on, the consumer unit goes in, and the whole installation is tested circuit by circuit before it carries anything. Rewiring is notifiable work, so it is registered under Part P and the installation certificate follows to you with a schedule of what was tested. We walk you round the finished house to show you what every new switch does.

Rewiring questions from Reigate homeowners
What people ask before committing to a whole house of new wiring.
How much does a rewire cost in Reigate?+
From £1,800, including a new consumer unit and the certificate. What moves the number is the size of the house, the number of circuits and how easily the floors and roof space let us get about. A Victorian terrace with solid floors downstairs takes longer than a 1930s semi with a generous void, and the written quote shows exactly what has been allowed for.
— Trevor Bush
Does my house actually need rewiring?+
Often it does not. Testing tells us whether the cable is genuinely at the end of its life or whether a new board and a couple of new circuits would do. Rubber or fabric covered cable, no earth at the light switches, and a fuse box with rewirable fuses together make a strong case. Two of the three, and a partial job is usually the better value.
— Trevor Bush
Can I stay in the house while it happens?+
Most people do. We work one area at a time and put power back to the rest of the house at the end of each day, so the kettle, the fridge and the router keep going. The dust is the real inconvenience rather than the darkness. Where the house is empty between owners or tenants, the job runs faster and costs less in labour.
Will I have to redecorate afterwards?+
Yes, in the areas where cable has been chased into walls or boards lifted. Plastering and decorating are not in the price, which is why a rewire pairs so well with an extension or a new kitchen. We keep the damage as small as the building allows, using existing voids wherever they will take the cable, but nobody should promise a rewire with no making good.
Is a rewire notifiable work?+
It is. Rewiring falls under Part P of the building regulations, so the work has to be registered with building control and certified. The registration and certification requirements are included in the agreed job rather than left for you to arrange. The certificate that comes out of it is what a future buyer's solicitor will ask about.
How long does a rewire take?+
A small terrace runs about five days, a typical three bedroom semi around a week to ten days, and a larger extended house longer than that. The quote names the number of days rather than leaving it open, and the days run consecutively so the house is not left half done while we go elsewhere.
Can you rewire a house in the Reigate conservation area?+
Yes, and several of them have been done. The care goes into original cornicing, panelling and staircases, with cable taken the long way round when the short way would damage something that cannot be replaced. Nothing new appears on the front of the building without being discussed with you first. The work takes a few days more and the quote says so plainly.
