The length of a house rewire depends on the size and condition of the property, the amount of access available and whether the work is taking place during a renovation. A small property may be completed more quickly than a larger occupied home, where careful planning is needed to minimise disruption.

What affects the timescale?

The scope matters most. Additional circuits, new sockets, kitchen and bathroom work, consumer unit changes, access to floor voids and the need for making good can all affect the schedule. An electrician will normally assess the installation first and explain the practical sequence before work begins.
