We recently purchased a 1970s bungalow in London with aluminum wiring. The home is approximately 1400 sq ft. We are looking to update the wiring and change the panel. What kind of cost can we expect?
You would have to contact some local contractors and get some quotes.
drywall would have to be removed for a complete removal and rewiring job.
why do you want to rewire? It is not always necessary.
For your own safety, you need to be aware that only Licensed Electrical Contractors are allowed to do electrical work.
ESA permits MUST be obtained with inspections carried out. If anyone tells you otherwise they are working illegally. Check their ESA number and license information.

Hi Janet. I would recommend contacting a certified electrician in your area for a real assessment of this work. This is quite expensive work and it is necessary to be convinced of its expediency. All the best.
