Avon Electrical Burnley.
Family run firm, but a few lads so get the job done quickly too.
I got 3 quotes in total, and they were the cheapest and did a great job.

Avon have got big, big contracts and do a good job. I haven't found them the cheapest on some jobs, but they're definitely very good.

I don't know, I'm not an electrician.
I just used them for a full kitchen re wire and a few other jobs I needed at the time.

I thought they might have sent you a bill for the work.

Would say anything between £2500-£3500. Electrician for 20+ years.

A firm called Rosewood did ours. Full house rewire, small firm but came when they said they would, did what they said they would and tidied up after themselves. Reasonable for price as well

They did, but not for a full house rewire, so doubt would be any use to you.
Was a grand for my job, but had full kitchen rewire as got new kitchen. Also did a few other bits around the house too.

I use Foulridge Electrical (Keith Brierley). I don't know what he charges for a house rewire because I've never had it done, but he's certainly reliable on the smaller jobs I have had done.

Having almost gutted our house over the last year, we came across quite a few tradesmen. The best, by an absolute country mile, was our electrician.
