Full + partial rewires
Jack walks the house with you first, free, then puts the price in writing before a single floorboard comes up. Full rewires, partial rewires and everything that comes with them: dust sheets down, daily updates, walls made good and a full set of certificates at the end. One recent customer called it 'top notch from start to finish'. That is the standard.

Straight pricing
There is no honest one-size price for a rewire, because no two houses are the same. Anyone who quotes a flat figure down the phone is guessing. The cost is driven by the property itself, so Jack looks at it first, then puts a written quote in your hands within 24 hours so the number is real and fixed before any floorboard comes up.
What actually drives the price of a rewire:
A like-for-like full rewire replaces all the fixed wiring, the circuits, the consumer unit and usually the accessories. A partial rewire does only part of the installation, one floor, the kitchen and bathroom circuits, or specific circuits an EICR has flagged, and costs less because there is less to do. Jack will tell you straight which one your house genuinely needs rather than sell you a full rewire when a partial one solves it, and the written quote spells out exactly what you are paying for.
What's involved
A rewire touches every room, so it lives or dies on planning and tidiness. Here is how Jack keeps a big, disruptive job calm and predictable from the first visit to the final certificate.
01
Free survey, in person
Jack walks the house with you, looks at the existing wiring and board, and talks through what you want, sockets where you actually need them, the lighting you have in mind, any kitchen or media-wall plans. No charge for this.
02
Written quote within 24 hours
You get the scope and the price in writing the next day, so you can compare it properly and there are no moving numbers later. Full or partial, whatever the house genuinely needs.
03
First fix
Dust sheets down, then the new cabling is run, chased into walls and floors and back to a new consumer unit. Jack keeps you updated daily so you always know what is happening and what is next.
04
Second fix, test and make good
Sockets, switches, lights and the board are finished and connected, the whole installation is tested and certified, the chases are made good to a ready-to-decorate finish, and you get the EIC at the end.
No surprises
Living in during the work is usually fine, Jack plans the job around keeping you with power and a working kitchen and bathroom wherever possible.
A typical job
A frequent job across Fife and Edinburgh: a period or 1960s–80s house on its original wiring, with too few sockets, a tired board and a previous owner's odd additions. Rather than keep patching, the owner has the lot brought up to current standards in one planned run, new circuits, a modern board, sockets where modern life actually needs them, and ends up with a certificated installation and walls ready to paint.

Straight answers
There is no honest one-size price for a rewire, it depends on the size of the property, how much needs doing and the finish you want. That is exactly why Jack surveys the house for free first and then puts a written quote in your hands within 24 hours, so the number is real rather than a guess over the phone.
A typical three-bedroom house is usually around five to ten working days, depending on access and whether you are living in during the work. Jack gives you a realistic timetable at survey stage and updates you daily as the job runs.
Not every house needs everything ripped out. Sometimes a partial rewire, a tired kitchen circuit, an old section, a board and a few runs, is all that is genuinely needed. Jack will tell you straight at the survey, rather than selling you a full rewire you do not need.
Rewiring means chasing cables into walls, which leaves marks. "Made good" means Jack patches and fills those chases back to a ready-to-decorate finish, dust sheets down throughout, so you are not left with a building site to sort out yourself.
You get a full Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) for the new work, tested and certified to BS 7671, with the completion paperwork issued. That is the paperwork your insurer, a future buyer or a letting agent will want to see.
Jack walks the house with you, talks it through, and puts a written quote in your hands within 24 hours. No charge, no obligation.
