How long is a piece of string?
There are so many factors that could alter the completion time
Depends on how many workers are involved?
surface or recessed cables?
Amount of sockets switches you require?
location of consumer unit
Why dont you ask the guys doing it??

on average i would say it takes 3/4 days to rewire a 3 bed property . This time scale allows for removal of all existing cabling and switchgear , chasing of walls and lifting of floorboards and replacement after wiring installed and property cleaned to a reasonable state .After the property has been plastered it should take no more than 2 days to fit all lights , sockets , switches , etc and complete test of installation carried out . This refers to a basic install and doesnt allow for complex wiring or numerous downlights , etc .

Hello Len_76 ,
The time scale depending in on property is empty or occupied? How many men power from contractor? And access to your property and also on parking outside your property.
I noticed that bathroom work is ongoing, Please make sure that you get electrical minor work or signal circuit certificate with your bathroom installer or / His/her Electrician!
All the best

It can take anywhere between 3-7 days depending on the house and how many sparks are on it.

It depends on how many sparks are working on it. Should take 2 lads 5 days to first fix then probably another 2 days to second fix as long as its a basic rewire. I do know electricians who could do it faster than this but this should give you a rough idea.

Hello
It depends on your requirements but three bed with average 4 plug sockets per room, data, coax and approximate 20 down-lighters in total ,walls made good - not skimmed, assuming full access it could be completed within three days, (3 electricians+1 for 10 hours a day)
Concrete floor will add extra work day
Hope it helps

we recently completed a Full 3bed Rewire in 12hours, It all depends on your spec and how late you are willing to have someone working at your home.

My personal opinion is between 3/5 days, few things to take into account is the spec, number off points downlights, tv, cctv, data ect occupied or void these all play a role in the duration off a wire, hope this helps.
