Full and part house rewires

Safe, certified wiring for older homes, renovations and rental properties. A fixed written price and a day-by-day schedule before any work starts.

Living room stripped back to brick with new cables run to every socket and light position during a full rewire — Full rewire in progress: every circuit renewed

When a rewire makes sense

An older home that has never been rewired
A renovation, extension or new kitchen
Not enough sockets, or extension leads everywhere
An EICR has rated the installation unsatisfactory
Landlords preparing a property for new tenants

A part rewire is sometimes enough. If only a few circuits are the problem, we’ll say so rather than sell you a full rewire.

Rewiring questions

How do I know if my house needs a rewire?

Rubber, lead or fabric-covered cable, an old fuse box, too few sockets, scorch marks, or wiring that hasn’t been checked in over 25 years are the usual signs. An EICR tells you for certain, and we can do one first if you’re unsure.

How long does a rewire take?

It depends on the size of the property and whether it’s empty. We give you a day-by-day schedule with your quote, so you know exactly when each room will be worked on.

Can I stay in the house during a rewire?

Often, yes. We plan the work room by room and try to get power back on at the end of each day where we can. An empty property is quicker and usually cheaper, so it’s worth timing it before you move in if you can.

What about the mess and making good?

We protect floors and furniture, channel walls neatly and fill them afterwards. Your quote states exactly what making good is included, so plastering and decorating are never assumed.

Is a rewire certified?

Yes. A rewire is notifiable work. As NAPIT approved electricians we register it with building control and give you an Electrical Installation Certificate for the whole installation.

Can I spread the cost of a rewire?

Yes. We offer 0% finance over 6, 9 or 12 months, subject to status. Finance is provided by PayItMonthly Ltd. Pay the monthly minimum or clear it early with no penalty. A £99 deposit secures your date.
