Do I need a rewire?

  • Frequent tripping, buzzing switches, or warm sockets.

  • Original rubber, lead, or fabric-sheathed cables; very old fuse boxes.

  • Not enough sockets; heavy reliance on extension leads.

  • Renovation or extension work that triggers electrical upgrades.

  • An EICR report advises “unsatisfactory” with C1/C2 codes.

Full Rewire

A top-to-bottom replacement of your fixed wiring, accessories and consumer unit to current standards. Ideal for older properties, major refurbishments, or when safety and capacity demand a clean slate.

What’s included:

  • New circuits and cabling to BS 7671 (18th Edition).

  • New consumer unit with RCD/RCBO protection.

  • New sockets, switches, cooker and shower feeds as required.

  • Earthing and bonding upgrades, testing and certification.

  • Plastering make-good to chases (by agreement), tidy finish.

Partial Rewire

Targeted upgrades to problem areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, extensions or specific circuits. We minimise disruption while bringing key parts of your installation up to standard.

Typical scenarios:

  • Kitchen refits requiring new cooker and appliance circuits.

  • Bathroom upgrades with electric shower and fan circuits.

  • Replacing degraded or unsafe wiring discovered during works.

  • Adding capacity and sockets in high-use rooms.

How our rewiring process works

  1. Survey and advice – we assess your current installation and plan routes, accessories, and loading.

  2. Fixed quote – clear scope, inclusions, and timescales so you know exactly what’s happening.

  3. First fix – cables run, back boxes set, consumer unit planned.

  4. Second fix – sockets, switches, lights, and the consumer unit installed.

  5. Testing and sign-off – full testing to BS 7671, certification provided. Part P notification where required.

  6. Handover – walk-through, user guidance, and aftercare.

Pricing guidance

Every property is different. As a guide, smaller properties and partial rewires are typically faster and lower cost than full rewires on larger homes. We provide a fixed, itemised quote after survey and can stage work around your schedule to reduce disruption.

Rewire FAQs

How long does a full rewire take?
Typically 3–7 working days depending on property size, access, and specification. We confirm a schedule after the survey and can phase work if you’re living in.

Will I need to move out?
Not always. We can plan phases, maintain essential supplies, and keep areas safe. Some clients prefer to be away during the dustiest first-fix stage.

Is my rewire certified?
Yes. We test to BS 7671 and provide certification. Where required, work is notified under Part P to Building Control.

Can you combine a rewire with a new kitchen or refit?
Absolutely. Many clients pair partial rewires with kitchen or bathroom projects for best results and lower overall disruption.

Do you replace the fuse box during a rewire?
Yes—rewires normally include a new consumer unit with RCD/RCBO protection to meet current safety standards.

What about chasing and making good?
Chasing routes are agreed during survey. We can include make-good or coordinate with your plasterer or decorator—your choice.
