lanning to upgrade your home's electrics in Greenock or Largs? Rewiring is essential for safety, energy efficiency, and compliance with UK electrical regulations. But how much should you expect to pay in 2025? This guide by DTEC Electrical breaks down the full costs and benefits of a professional house rewire.

💷 Average Cost to Rewire a House in 2025

The typical price to rewire a house in the UK ranges between £2,500 to £6,000, depending on the size and complexity. For properties in Greenock and Largs, expect these estimates:

1-bed flat: £2,000 – £2,500
3-bed semi: £3,000 – £4,500
4-bed detached: £5,000 – £6,500+

⚠️ Do I Need a Full Rewire?

If your home is over 25 years old and still has original wiring, or you notice flickering lights, tripping circuits, or burning smells from sockets, it’s time to consider a full rewire. We also recommend a rewire before major renovations or property sales.

🔧 What's Included in a House Rewire?

A full rewire typically includes:

New cables & sockets
Upgraded consumer unit (fuse box)
RCD protection for safety
Energy-efficient lighting systems
Electrical safety certificate

⚡ Fuse Box Replacement & RCD Protection

Most rewires include a fuse board upgrade with modern RCD protection. This is not just best practice — it's required by UK building and electrical safety regulations (BS 7671).

🧰 How Long Does It Take to Rewire a House?

Smaller flats can be done in 2–3 days, while large homes may take up to 7–10 days. We always plan rewires with minimal disruption.
