What Can Affect the Cost — and Scope — of a Rewire?
-
What Can Affect the Cost of a Rewire?
Guide pricing may change because of property size, layout or construction; occupied working; restricted access; concrete floors or solid walls; existing wiring condition; additional points; decorative accessories; smart controls; specialist lighting; enhanced supplies; scaffolding; parking, tolls or congestion; out-of-hours work; hazardous materials; specialist flooring; and requirements outside the standard specification.
Making good, plastering, decorating, carpentry, moving furniture and reinstating specialist finishes are excluded unless specifically included in the written quotation. The final written quotation and agreed specification take precedence over any online guide price.

Does the Whole Property Need Rewiring?
Not every project requires a complete rewire. Depending on the existing installation, AC1 Electrical Services may recommend complete rewiring, selected circuit replacement, extension or refurbishment wiring, kitchen or bathroom rewiring, lighting or socket circuit replacement, a consumer unit or distribution board, dedicated equipment circuits, earthing and bonding upgrades, alterations following an EICR, or isolation/removal of unsafe or redundant wiring.
The appropriate scope should be established through inspection, testing and a property survey.
Electrical Distribution Built Around the Property
Consumer-unit replacement
Commercial and industrial distribution boards
Single-phase and three-phase distribution
Main switchgear and switch fuses
Submain installations
Busbar chambers
Metering and check meters
RCBO and RCD protection
Surge-protection devices
Circuit separation and identification
Distribution-board schedules
Earthing and bonding
Local isolation
New final circuits
Alterations and extensions to existing distribution systems
New work will be appropriately inspected, tested, labelled and certified.
