Our Rewiring Process

Minimal Disruption & Clean Work

We understand a rewire can be daunting. Our electricians use advanced tools and techniques, such as floorboard tunnels and dust extraction systems, to minimise chasing and mess. We protect your furnishings and meticulously clean up at the end of each day, respecting your home as if it were our own.

Smart & Optimised Layouts

A rewire is the perfect opportunity to modernise your home's layout. We work with you to plan the optimal placement for sockets, switches, and lighting. We'll suggest adding convenient USB-C sockets, two-way switching for hallways, and feature lighting to enhance your living space and eliminate extension cords.

Essential Electrical Rewiring Advice

Obsolete round-pin sockets and rubber cabling — pre-rewire condition unsafe for modern loads London

Know the Warning Signs

Flickering lights, frequently tripping fuses, buzzing sounds from outlets, or old rubber/fabric-coated cables are clear signs you need an inspection for a potential rewire.

Plan for the Future

During a rewire, add more sockets than you think you need, especially in the kitchen and home office. Consider adding Ethernet ports and USB-C outlets for future convenience.

Don't Forget the Consumer Unit

A full rewire should always include a new 18th Edition consumer unit with RCBO protection on all circuits. This is the most critical safety component of the entire system.

Always Ask for Certification

Ensure your electrician will provide a formal Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) at the end of the job. This is your legal guarantee that the work is safe and compliant.

Living In During a Rewire

It is possible to live in the property during a rewire. A good electrician will work room by room and ensure you have power restored to essential areas each evening.

Partial vs. Full Rewire

If a survey shows one part of your wiring is unsafe (e.g., an old extension), it's likely the rest is of a similar age. A full rewire is often the most cost-effective solution long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my house needs rewiring?

Common signs include frequently tripping fuses, flickering or dimming lights, a buzzing sound from switches or outlets, discoloured sockets, or the presence of old, fabric-covered cables. If your property is over 30 years old and has its original wiring, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is highly recommended to assess its safety.

How long does a full house rewire take?

The duration depends on the size and complexity of the property. An average 3-bedroom house typically takes 5-8 days. We work efficiently to minimise disruption and can phase the work to ensure you have power in essential areas each evening if you're living in the property during the rewire.

Will there be a lot of mess and damage?

While some disruption is unavoidable, we pride ourselves on a clean and tidy process. We use dust sheets and floor protection throughout, and employ techniques like using existing voids and channels to minimise the need to chase walls. We clean up thoroughly at the end of each day.

Is your work certified and guaranteed?

Absolutely. As NICEIC Approved Contractors, all our rewiring work is self-certified to comply with BS 7671 wiring regulations. Upon completion, you will receive an Electrical Installation Certificate and we notify Building Control on your behalf. All our work is backed by the 6-year NICEIC Platinum Promise guarantee.
