Homes in Cabra and what that means for this job
Cabra has large 1930s–1950s housing schemes of terraced and semi-detached homes, many now extended to the rear or into the attic. Cabra is in Dublin 7 and falls under Dublin City Council.
Period homes may still have wiring from the 1960s or earlier, rewireable fuses and few sockets per room, so many jobs end up recommending a partial or full rewire. 1930s–1960s houses have often been rewired once, but the fuse board may lack modern RCD protection and circuits can be overloaded by modern appliances.
What the fix involves and typical cost in Cabra
Full or partial rewire: new cables, sockets, switches and lights, a new board, testing and certification.
Typical price: €7,000–€14,000 for a typical 3-bed (indicative Dublin range incl. VAT). The final price depends on:
- Size of the house and number of circuits
- Chasing into walls versus surface trunking
- Accessibility under floors and in the attic
- Out-of-hours call-outs

Why does my electricity keep tripping?
