Information Sheet on Rewiring


For a comprehensive article on electrics, please follow this link

The prices above assume the work is done to “regulations” standard, which are all outlined in detail in our main electrics article.

We also assume a plasterer has to be brought in as electricians don’t do their own plastering. The electrician will then have to come back to fit the face plates because the plasterer won’t plaster with them live and in place, because he uses loads of water. It is therefore an expensive process.
