There are lots of factors for house rewires that all contribute to the total cost of a full house rewire when done by a professional NICEIC registered electrician.
Beginning with the Consumer unit or as the older generation call them fuse boxes. The consumer unit is the part of the house where the electrical supply is split in to the different circuits. The main ones are lighting, sockets, cooker & shower circuits. All of these are protected by a mini circuit breaker. There will even be a mains switch & an RCD.
The consumer unit is a technical and time consuming item to slot in the work of an electrical installation and should to only be tried by competent electricians. The aim of a full house rewire is to get all the fresh cables to the consumer unit & make them live.
Electrical outlets must be installed in various ways, one way lighting circuits that operate from different locations which entail various different lengths of fresh cable ran throughout the middle of the property. This method requires in depth thought as to where best to gain access for the new outlets & in most cases requires plastering or patching up around the affected areas. In addition there is cross bonding (Earthing) to take in to consideration.
There are also extras that must be included along the way, house alarm systems, bathroom fans, shaver points, electric showers, central heating circuits. All the earlier mentioned must be thought about when slotting cable back to your new consumer unit.
