When do you need a Full or partial rewire?
You will need a rewire if your property's wiring is very old (e.g., pre-1970s), if an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) highlights significant safety concerns, or during a major renovation project.
What happens on the day
A team of qualified electricians will carry out the rewire in phases, minimising disruption where possible. This involves chasing out walls for new cables, installing new sockets and switches, fitting a new consumer unit, and extensive testing before issuing certification.
How to prepare
- Remove all furniture and belongings from rooms to be rewired.
- Protect any remaining items with dust sheets.
- Arrange for alternative accommodation if a full rewire is being done.
- Discuss power needs during the work (e.g., temporary power for critical appliances).
How to improve your result
- Plan your electrical layout carefully, considering future appliance placement and lighting needs.
- Consider installing additional sockets and USB charging points to avoid extension lead use.
- Incorporate smart home technology during a rewire for seamless integration.
Why it is useful day to day
A modern and safe electrical system provides immense peace of mind, removes fire risks, supports all your electrical appliances, and future-proofs your home for decades to come.
Why we ask these questions
We ask about the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and reception rooms, the age of the property, existing wiring type (if known), and any planned extensions or significant appliance installations. This helps us estimate the scope of work, potential complexities, and the required electrical capacity.
