Full rewire or partial rewire
Not every home needs a full rewire. We look at what you have and recommend only what is needed.
Full rewire
Every circuit in the home is replaced, usually with a new fuse board.
Best for older homes, or when an inspection finds problems throughout.
Partial rewire
Only the circuits that need it are replaced, such as a kitchen, a loft conversion or an extension.
Best when most of the wiring is sound.
Signs your home may need rewiring
Any of these are worth having checked by an electrician.
Old cables
Cables covered in rubber, fabric or lead rather than modern PVC.
Old sockets
Round-pin sockets, or sockets set into skirting boards.
Old fuse box or no earth
A fuse box with wire fuses, or lighting circuits with no earth wire.
Warning signs
Sockets or switches that feel warm, buzz or show scorch marks, or an EICR that found problems across the installation.
How a rewire works
01. Survey and quote
We look at your wiring, agree where you want sockets, switches and lights, and give you a written quote.
02. First fix
New cables are run through walls, floors and ceilings and back boxes fitted, before plastering or decorating.
03. Second fix
Sockets, switches, lights and the fuse board are fitted.
04. Testing and certification
Every circuit is tested. A rewire is notifiable work, so it is certified and we notify building control for you.
