Prices are a guide and fixed in writing after a free survey. Final cost depends on property type, layout, number of circuits and finish requirements.
What Affects Your Rewire Cost
- Property type: traditional Edinburgh tenements and older stone-built homes can add complexity and cost, with solid walls and tricky access compared to modern builds.
- Safety upgrades: Scottish regulations require interlinked smoke and heat alarms, adding roughly £300 to £600 if they are not already fitted.
- Making good: plastering, redecorating and repairing walls after chasing cables is usually separate from the electrical quote and costs extra.
- Certificates: your quote should always include testing and BS 7671 (Part P) electrical safety certification, which we provide as standard.

Edinburgh Rewiring Questions, Answered
How much does it cost to rewire a house in Edinburgh?
A house rewire in Edinburgh typically costs between £2,500 and £10,000+ depending on the size and type of property. As a guide, a 1-bedroom flat is £2,500 to £3,500, a 2-bedroom flat or house £3,500 to £5,500, a 3-bedroom house £4,500 to £7,500, and a 4-bedroom house £7,000 to £10,000+. Older tenements, safety upgrades and making good can affect the final figure, which is why we confirm a fixed written quote after a free survey.
How long does a full house rewire take?
Most Edinburgh house rewires take 3 to 14 days depending on property size and type. A 1-bedroom flat is typically completed in 3 to 5 days, a 2-bedroom property in 5 to 7 days, a 3-bedroom house in 7 to 10 days, and a 4-bedroom house in 10 to 14 days. Older or more complex period properties can take longer, and your written plan will confirm the schedule before we start.
Can I stay in my home during the rewire?
Yes. Most of our customers stay in their homes for the whole project. We work room by room, restore power and lighting every evening, and leave the property clean and safe at the end of each day.
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Common signs a house needs rewiring include frequent tripping, flickering lights, warm or discoloured sockets, an old fuse box with rewirable fuses, rubber or fabric-coated cables, and a lack of earthing. Homes with wiring over 25 to 30 years old should have an EICR inspection, which will confirm whether a full or partial rewire is needed.
Do you rewire Edinburgh tenement flats?
Yes, tenement and period properties are our specialism. We plan cable routes to protect stone walls, cornicing and original features, work considerately in shared stairs, and rewire occupied flats with minimal disruption.
What certification do I get after a rewire?
You receive a BS 7671 Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) on completion. This confirms your new installation meets current wiring regulations and is the document insurers, mortgage lenders, letting agents and buyers ask to see.
Do you do partial rewires?
Yes. Where an inspection shows only part of the installation needs replacing, for example a kitchen, extension or single floor, we can carry out a partial rewire and certify the new work. Your free survey will confirm whether a partial or full rewire is the right option.
Are you qualified and insured?
Yes. My Rewire Edinburgh is part of My Electrical Solutions Ltd, a SELECT-registered Edinburgh electrical contractor rated 5.0 on Google. All rewiring work is fully insured and certified.
Which areas of Edinburgh do you cover?
We rewire homes across all of Edinburgh and the Lothians, including the City Centre, New Town, Old Town, Leith, Morningside, Marchmont, Corstorphine, Portobello, Gorgie, Liberton, Currie, Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Bonnyrigg and Livingston.
