Rewire Cost Sanity Check
Hi all,
We've just moved into a 1930's property in Manchester that needs a full rewire.
We're hoping to chase the cables in the upstairs rooms (but not connect anything) so we can decorate and replaster, then later knock some walls down downstairs as part of a larger kitchen/diner project later in the year where the actual new board and the rest of the house will be rewired.
We're trying to get the place ready for solar/heatpump at the same time.
We've had one quote come back at 8.6K for the following:
