FAQs

How do I know if my house needs rewiring?

You may need a house rewire if your property has old wiring, frequent tripping, buzzing sockets, flickering lights, burning smells, damaged sockets, or an outdated fuse board. If you are unsure, the safest next step is to arrange an electrical inspection. Get in touch with us and we can assess your wiring and advise whether a full rewire, partial rewire, or smaller repair is needed.

How often should a house be rewired?

There is no fixed expiry date for electrical wiring, but older homes often need checking after 25-40 years, depending on the condition of the installation. The best way to know is with an electrical testing, also known as an electrical testing. Contact us to book an inspection and we can give you clear, practical advice on the condition of your electrics.

What is involved in a full house rewire?

A full house rewire usually includes replacing old cabling, installing new sockets and lighting circuits, upgrading earthing and bonding, and fitting a new consumer unit if required. We can also help you plan socket positions, lighting layouts, outdoor power, smart home features, and future electrical needs. Speak to us before starting renovation work so we can help you plan the job properly.

How long does a house rewire take?

The timescale depends on the size of the property, access, whether the home is occupied, and how many sockets, lights, and circuits are required. A small property may take a few days, while larger homes can take longer. Get in touch for a tailored estimate based on your property and requirements.

Can I live in my house during a rewire?

In some cases, yes, but rewiring can be disruptive because power may need to be turned off and some floors, walls, or ceilings may need to be accessed. We will always explain what to expect before work starts and help you plan around the disruption. Contact us to discuss the most practical approach for your home.

Will rewiring damage my walls and floors?

Some disruption is usually unavoidable, especially where cables need to be routed through walls, ceilings, or under floors. However, we always aim to keep disruption to a minimum and will explain what areas are likely to be affected before the work begins. If you are planning decorating or renovation work, get in touch early so we can coordinate the rewire at the right stage.

Do I need a full rewire or a partial rewire?

Not every property needs a full rewire. In some cases, only certain circuits or areas need upgrading. We can inspect your installation and give honest advice on whether you need a full house rewire, a partial rewire, or targeted remedial work. Contact us to arrange an assessment.

Does a house rewire include a new consumer unit?

A house rewire often includes a consumer unit upgrade, especially if the existing fuse board is old, lacks RCD protection, or is unsuitable for modern electrical demands. We will check your current consumer unit as part of the assessment and let you know whether replacement is recommended. Get in touch for advice before committing to the work.

Will I receive a certificate after my house is rewired?

Yes. After a house rewire, the installation should be fully tested and certified. You should receive the correct electrical certification once the work is completed. We provide the relevant certification for our work, giving you peace of mind that your new installation has been properly checked.

Is rewiring a house worth it?

Yes. Rewiring can improve electrical safety, support modern appliances, reduce the risk of faults, and make your home more practical for everyday use. It can also be a valuable improvement if you are renovating, buying, selling, or renting out a property. Contact us for a quote and we can talk you through the best options for your home.

What are the signs of old electrical wiring?

Signs of old wiring can include rubber, fabric, or lead-covered cables, an old fuse box, no RCD protection, warm or discoloured sockets, regular tripping, flickering lights, or visible DIY electrical work. If you have noticed any of these warning signs, get in touch with us and we can inspect your electrics before the problem becomes more serious.

Should I rewire before renovating?

Yes, if your wiring is old, unsafe, or unsuitable for your plans. Rewiring before plastering, decorating, fitting a new kitchen, or installing new flooring can save time, mess, and cost later. Contact us before starting your renovation and we can help plan your electrical layout around your new space.

Great work from Chris and the team. They upgraded a fuse box, rewired the kitchen and made some general improvements as part of my renovation. Really happy with how they worked with my timings…

I couldn’t recommend Chris enough. Super professional and came out to look after a few hiccups (no fault of his at all!) - makes sure he goes above and beyond. Will be using Chris…
