How Much Does a House Rewire Cost in the West Midlands? (2026 Price Guide)

A full rewire is one of the bigger electrical jobs a homeowner takes on, and understandably one of the first questions we get asked is simply: what's this going to cost? Here's a realistic breakdown.

What affects the price

• Size of the property (number of rooms, floors)
• Age and accessibility of existing wiring — older properties with limited access can take longer
• Number of sockets, switches, and lighting points being added or relocated
• Whether it's a full rewire or a partial rewire of specific circuits/rooms
• Consumer unit replacement, usually included as part of a full rewire

Typical price ranges

As a general guide for the West Midlands: a 2-bedroom terrace or flat typically runs from around £2,500–£3,500, a 3-bedroom semi from roughly £3,500–£5,500, and larger 4+ bedroom detached properties from £5,500 upwards. These are indicative figures — every property is different, which is why we always survey before quoting rather than guessing over the phone.

Partial rewires

Not every property needs a full rewire. If specific circuits, rooms, or an extension need updating while the rest of the installation is sound, a partial rewire can be a more cost-effective, less disruptive option — we'll always recommend what the property actually needs, not the biggest job available.

What's included in a proper quote

A trustworthy rewire quote should cover materials, labour, making good (basic plastering/patching after chasing walls), certification, and disposal of old materials. Be wary of quotes that seem unusually low — it's often a sign something's been left out.

Why it's worth doing properly

A rewire isn't just about avoiding faults — it's often required for home insurance validity, mortgage/remortgage surveys, and simply peace of mind in a property you're living in day to day.
