Questions
How long does a 3-bed rewire take?
+
Often around a week for two electricians, depending on access and whether the house is occupied.
Should I quote per point?
+
Per point pricing is clear for customers, but list the totals too so they see the whole job.
Is a rewire notifiable?

Yes, it's notifiable work and should be certified with an EIC.
