What Does a Rewire Involve?

A full rewire involves replacing all the wiring in a property — from the consumer unit to every socket, switch, lighting point and fixed appliance connection. A partial rewire targets a specific area, such as a kitchen, extension or loft conversion. In both cases the work is notified to building control and a certificate is issued on completion. You may also be interested in our electrical repairs & fault finding, fuse board upgrade and eicr certificates services.

Why it matters

If your property is over 25 years old and has never been rewired, or if you are experiencing regular electrical faults, discolouration around sockets or a persistent burning smell, a rewire is likely overdue.
We carry out a thorough assessment before recommending any work. A full rewire involves replacing all wiring, consumer units, sockets, switches and light fittings. We work as tidily as possible and make good any necessary areas.
All rewiring work is notified to building control, fully tested, and certificated on completion. We provide an Electrical Installation Certificate and advise on any further works recommended.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a full rewire take?
A typical 3-bedroom property takes 5–7 working days. Larger properties will take longer — we confirm the programme before starting.
Do I need to move out during a rewire?
For a full rewire it is usually more practical to vacate, as power will be off and there will be considerable dust and disruption. For partial rewires it is often possible to stay.
How do I know if my property needs rewiring?
Key signs include old rubber or fabric-insulated wiring, round-pin sockets, frequent faults, or an EICR flagging the installation as unsatisfactory.
Does a rewire require building control notification?
Yes — all rewiring work must be notified under Part P of the Building Regulations. We handle this and provide the certificate.
Will walls need replastering after a rewire?
In most cases, yes — some surface chasing is required to run new cables. We make good all surfaces before second fix, though final decoration is typically the homeowner’s responsibility.
Is a rewire disruptive?
A full rewire involves chasing walls and temporary loss of power, so it is inherently disruptive. We work as efficiently and tidily as possible to minimise impact.
