Help ..Is this rewiring quote reasonable ?

[MuchBrighterNow]

We are rebuilding an old house and have had a quote for the electrics.

The fuse box is ok but due to walls coming down and room changes the rest has to be redone. I have had a quote for 4000 pounds. This is for 4 bedrooms, kitchen and 2 bathrooms and includes using existing wiring (with some new ) and all the plugs and switches, but not the light fittings. The place is a shell so there's no cutting into walls or plastering included.

Has anyone else rewired their house and if you wouldn't mind telling me. how much did it cost please.

My sister is having her whole house rewired, 3 bed detatched, and the quote was approx £5k.

I guess it depends where you are Brighter. From where I sit here Oop North, that sounds expensive.

Is the quote broken down by materials and labour?

Yes Ninja it's all broken down and it's someone I know as a friend , though not a close one, who has give the quote so I should be able to trust him.

That's helpful to know chunkamatic.

It seems exspensive to me flow... I'm a do everything I possibly can myself kind of person but electrics are beyond my capabilities

That's good, perhaps you can source the materials more cheaply and just pay the labour?

It sounds a good price. We paid roughly that to rewire an average 3 bed house.

Thanks everyone, it helps to have a few comparisons.
