How Much Does It Cost to Rewire a House in Wigan? A Homeowner’s Guide to Affordable Options

Jun 08, 2025

If you’re a homeowner in Wigan thinking about rewiring your property, one of your first questions is likely: “How much will it cost?” The answer can vary depending on a range of factors – but what’s certain is that rewiring is a smart investment in safety, energy efficiency, and property value.


At GHE Electrical, Fire and Security LTD, we specialise in helping Wigan homeowners, landlords, and property managers upgrade and future-proof their electrics, all while staying compliant with UK safety regulations. Our goal? To give you peace of mind and fair, transparent pricing.


Let’s break down what goes into the cost of house rewiring and how to get the best value for your money.


💷 Average Cost to Rewire a House in Wigan


Here’s a rough guide based on typical Wigan property sizes:

  • 1-bedroom flat: £2,000 – £3,000
  • 2–3 bedroom house: £3,500 – £5,000
  • 4+ bedroom house: £5,500 – £7,500+


These figures include:

  • Full rewiring of sockets and lighting circuits
  • New consumer unit (fuse box)
  • Earth bonding and safety upgrades
  • Labour and materials
  • Electrical certification


💡 Note: Costs can vary depending on property age, access, existing electrical condition, and whether the property is occupied during the works.


🛠️ What Factors Affect the Cost?


1. Property Size and Layout

More rooms = more sockets, switches and wiring. Large or awkwardly laid-out homes (e.g. with lofts or extensions) may require more labour.


2. Access and Occupancy

It’s easier (and often cheaper) to rewire a property that’s unoccupied. Occupied homes need extra time and care to minimise disruption.


3. Upgrades and Extras

Adding USB sockets, smart home tech, EV charging points, or additional lighting can increase costs – but also add long-term value.


4. Compliance Work

Older homes may need additional upgrades, like earthing, fire-rated consumer units, or RCD protection to meet current wiring regulations (BS 7671).
