Our Free rewire online cost calculator | RNM Electrical Services Limited

Real Electrical Experience

Last month I rewired a two-bedroom house on Nevalan Drive in St George, Bristol. The customer found us through the rewire cost calculator on our website, entered the details of his property, got an estimated price and sent the enquiry through.

I rang him back, arranged a site inspection, and was able to confirm the requirements and provide a proper quotation, which was the figure he had already seen on screen. He was happy with it, so I booked him in and started as soon as I could.

This is exactly why we created the calculator. You can get a realistic starting point for a house rewire in Bristol before you ever pick up the phone. When we speak,  you already have an idea of where you stand. No vague "it depends", no waiting around for a figure that may have very little to do with what you actually want installed.

The Nevalan Drive house rewire 

The electrical work itself was completed in around a week.

We started by removing the old electrics before installing the new circuits, sockets and lighting. RNM electrical also organised for our  usual plasterer to then came in and fill the chases We had cut, leaving the customer with a ready to paint finish rather than a building site.

For the Nevalan Drive job, the installation included around three sockets per room, lighting pendants in each room, an IP-rated bathroom light, a shower supply, a cooker supply, and external lighting at the front and back of the house.

That is a fairly typical specification for a two-bedroom property, and it is the sort of information the calculator asks you about.

Number of bedrooms, rooms, sockets, lights and additional electrical requirements can all effect the estimated cost. Ge those details roughly right and the calculator can give you a useful starting point before I visit the property and assess the Job properly.

What does a full house rewire actually involve?

If you've never had a rewire done before, the process can be more disruptive than people expect.
I start by removing the old wiring, which can mean lifting floors and opening up walls where the cable runs need to go. I then install the new circuits, fit the sockets, switches and other accessories. Test the installation and complete the required checks before the job is handed over to the plasterer.

You are without normal use of some electrical circuits while the work is being carried out, so it's important to plan for the disruption.

For the Nevalan Drive property, the electrical installation took around a week, with the plastering and making good carried out afterwards.

The mistakes I keep finding on jobs

A full rewire is hard work and I would not advise an unqualified person to take one on. I have seen the results of people trying it, and the faults are not small.

Wrong cable sizes turn up regularly. Cable that is too small for the load it carries heats up, and that is a real fire hazard. I have also inspected sockets and switches on poorly done jobs and found loose connections behind them, which is a frightening find when you consider how many of those points run appliances all day.

None of this is visible from the outside. A room can look finished and tidy while the circuit behind the plaster is wrong. It is why I test properly on every job rather than working on assumption.

What to expect if you want the same

The Nevalan Drive customer did three things that made the job go smoothly, and you can copy all of them.

He priced the job before he called, using the calculator built into our website, so there was no awkward conversation about budget. He was upfront about what he wanted in the install, which meant I could quote accurately on the first visit. And he gave me a clear run at the property, which is how I got it finished in a week.

If you are buying a property that might need rewiring, get someone to look at it before you exchange. Old fuse boards, rubber insulated cable, sockets in odd places, and a lack of earthing are all things I check on a pre purchase inspection. Knowing the cost before you commit is worth far more than finding out afterwards.

You can try our Free rewire online cost calculator in Bristol, Bath, South Gloucestershire and surrounding area at any time, day or night. It costs nothing and it does not commit you to anything.

If you're thinking about having your house rewired, one of the first questions you're probably going to ask is:

How much does a house rewire cost?

The problem is that there isn't one simple answer. Every property is different, and the cost of a house rewire will depend on the size of your home, the number of sockets and lights you require, your kitchen appliances, consumer unit, smoke alarms and any additional electrical work you'd like carried out.

That's exactly why we've developed the RNM Electrical Rewire Cost Calculator.

Rather than searching Google for an average house rewire price that may have very little to do with your actual property, our free online calculator allows you to build an estimated rewire cost based on what you actually want.

Why Did We Create a House Rewire Calculator?

We speak to homeowners regularly who have no idea what they should expect to pay for a full house rewire.

Search online for "house rewire cost Bristol" and you'll find all sorts of different figures.

But comparing an average price isn't always particularly helpful.

A three-bedroom property requiring a relatively straightforward electrical installation could be very different from another three-bedroom property where the homeowner wants additional sockets, USB outlets, downlights, outdoor lighting, electric showers or upgraded kitchen supplies.

Our house rewire calculator gives you much more control.

You tell us roughly what you'd like installed, and the calculator builds an estimated cost around your requirements.

It gives you a useful starting point before we discuss the project properly.
