What Affects the Price?
Every property is different. Factors that can move the price up or down:
- Property age and construction — Period properties with lath and plaster cost more to rewire than modern plasterboard
- Access — Loft access, under-floor voids, or solid floors affect cable routing time
- Cable run length — Longer distances between the consumer unit and point of use increase materials and labour
- Existing installation condition — Additional remedial work may be needed if existing wiring is in poor condition
- Specification — Premium switches, smart controls, and high-end fittings add to the materials cost
