Rewiring Your 3-Bedroom House or Flat – The Complete Guide
If you’re living in or moving into a 3-bedroom house, rewiring might be on your mind, especially if the electrics are outdated. Old wiring can pose a serious safety risk, which is why a rewire is one of the most common projects we handle.
At Simply Home Rewires, we specialise in rewiring House or Flats, and we’re here to make the process simple and straightforward for you. Below is everything you need to know about the costs, process, and what to expect when you rewire your 3-bedroom House or Flat with us.
How Much Does It Cost to Rewire a 3-Bedroom House?
The cost of rewiring a 3-bedroom house varies depending on whether the property is occupied and the House or Flat’s condition. Here’s a rough guide:
- Occupied: from £4,395 + VAT
- Unoccupied: from £3,895 + VAT
Your final price depends on your House or Flat’s layout, age, and any additional upgrades like plaster patching, spotlights, or USB sockets. After a free inspection, you’ll receive a fixed price quote, no surprises, no hidden costs.
What’s Included in the Rewire?
Here’s exactly what’s included in a standard rewire for your 3-bedroom House or Flat:

How Long Does It Take?
The typical timeline for rewiring a 3-bedroom House or Flat is 5–7 working days. The time can vary based on:
- Property layout
- Access to the electrics
- Whether you live in the House or Flat during the work
If the property is unoccupied, the process is quicker. If you’re staying in the House or Flat, we’ll work in sections to minimise disruption and keep your House or Flat livable.
