How Much Does a Home Rewire Cost in Leeds?

The short answer is: it depends on your property size, layout, and the level of upgrades you choose. In this guide, Smart Ohm — your TrustMark and NAPIT registered electricians in Leeds — explain what affects rewire costs, what you can expect to pay, and why it’s worth investing in a safe, modern electrical system.

What affects the cost of a home rewire in Leeds?

Every home is different, but here are the main factors that influence price:

1. Size of your property

• 1–2 bedroom flat or small house: fewer circuits, sockets, and lighting points
• 3–4 bedroom semi-detached: standard Leeds family homes often fall in this range
• Larger detached homes: more rooms, more circuits, and usually more complex layouts

The bigger the property, the more time, labour, and materials are required.

2. Full or partial rewire

• Full rewire – replaces all wiring, sockets, switches, lighting, and fuse box.
• Partial rewire – only certain circuits or areas (often kitchens, extensions, or bathrooms).

3. Smart upgrades and extras

Rewiring is the perfect time to future-proof. Adding:

• Smart lighting systems
• Home audio and entertainment cabling
• Data/ethernet cabling for home offices
• EV charger readiness

…will increase costs slightly but adds long-term value and avoids ripping walls open again in a few years.

4. Level of finish

Do you want standard white sockets, or brushed steel designer fittings? The choice of accessories affects both cost and aesthetics.

5. Accessibility and disruption

Homes with easy access (loft space, floorboards) are simpler to rewire. Fully plastered, recently decorated properties can be trickier, as walls and floors may need chasing out.

Typical home rewire costs in Leeds (2025)

While every property needs a tailored quote, here are some ballpark figures based on recent Leeds projects:

• 1–2 bedroom flat/small terrace: £3,000 – £4,500
• 3 bedroom semi-detached: £4,500 – £6,500
• 4 bedroom detached: £6,500 – £9,000+

💡 These are guide prices for a full rewire including a modern consumer unit, new sockets, switches, and lighting points. Partial rewires or upgrades will cost less.

Why a rewire is worth the investment

It’s not just about the upfront cost — rewiring adds long-term value and safety to your property. Benefits include:

• Peace of mind – safe wiring that reduces fire and shock risks
• Compliance – your electrics meet BS 7671 standards and Part P of Building Regulations
• Convenience – more sockets, better lighting, and improved layout
• Future-proofing – ready for EV chargers, solar panels, and smart tech
• Property value – buyers are reassured by a recently rewired, certified home

When to budget for a rewire

• If your home is over 25–30 years old and hasn’t been rewired
• When planning a major renovation or extension
• If an inspection highlights faults or non-compliance
• If you’ve just moved into an older property in Leeds
