How much does rewiring a house in Derby cost?
Rewiring is priced per job after the property has been seen, because the amount of cable and labour differs from house to house. A written quote sets out the whole figure before any date is agreed, with no hidden costs.
Included when agreed
- Removal or decommissioning of redundant electrical wiring
- Chasing walls and drawing new cabling under floors and through lofts
- Installation of a modern metal consumer unit with surge and RCD protection
- Fitting back boxes, standard white sockets, switches and pendant lights
- Dedicated supply cables for cookers, showers and electric heating
- Full circuit testing and building control compliance documentation
Ways to pay
- Pay by bank
- All new cabling, the consumer unit and standard white sockets and switches sit inside the quoted figure.
- Instrument testing of each finished circuit, the installation certificate and building control notification are included.
- Skim plastering, repainting and new floor coverings stay outside the electrical work.
- Property size, circuit count and whether the house is lived in during the work all shift the final figure.

What happens on the day
A house rewire in Derby replaces the wiring hidden in walls and floors with new cable. The work falls into two parts: getting the cable to every point first, then fitting the accessories once the walls are ready.
- Planning the cable layoutBefore any cable goes in, each room is walked through to agree where sockets, switches and light points will sit. The consumer unit, the box that houses the circuit breakers, is checked along with the main earthing so the new circuits can be connected safely.
- New cable through the buildingFloorboards are lifted and channels called chases are cut into the plaster so fresh twin and earth cable can be drawn to every planned point. This stage is known as first fix. The electricity goes back on at the end of each day, so an occupied house keeps lights and essential sockets.
- Accessories fitted once walls are dryAfter the walls have been plastered and dried, second fix begins. Socket and switch faceplates, pendant lights and the new consumer unit are connected, and heavier loads such as cookers and electric showers get their own dedicated feeds.
- Tests, certificate and a tidy finishEvery finished circuit is meter tested for earth continuity, insulation resistance and correct polarity before the supply is energised. An Electrical Installation Certificate and building control notification follow, and dust and offcuts are cleared away.
