Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a full house rewire cost in Devon?

A full house rewire in Devon starts from £4,000 plus VAT minimum for any property size, with the average rewire costing around £5,000 plus VAT. A typical 2-4 bedroom house with standard fittings costs £6,000-£7,000 plus VAT. As premium electricians, our prices reflect our high-quality workmanship and comprehensive service.

Is a rewire covered by home insurance?

Standard home insurance does not cover rewiring as it's considered maintenance. However, if old wiring causes damage (like a fire), your insurance may cover the resulting damage. Some policies may increase premiums if your wiring is very old.

How long does a house rewire take?

A typical 3-bedroom house takes 4-5 days. Smaller flats can be done in 2-3 days, while larger properties may take 7-10 days. We work efficiently to minimise disruption and can work room by room if needed.

Do I need to move out during a rewire?

It's not usually necessary to move out. We can rewire room by room, maintaining power to essential areas. We'll always ensure you have power for cooking and heating. Many customers stay in their homes throughout.

How do I know if my house needs rewiring?

Warning signs include: old round-pin sockets, fabric-covered cables, frequent blown fuses, burning smells, flickering lights, or a fuse box without RCD protection. Homes over 25-30 years old should be inspected.
