Full and partial house rewires

A rewire replaces the cables, accessories and usually the consumer unit in a property. It's the right answer when the wiring is old rubber or early PVC, when an EICR has found widespread problems, or when a renovation opens the walls anyway.

Full or partial

A full rewire replaces everything. A partial rewire replaces the circuits that need it, often a kitchen, a bathroom or the lighting, and leaves sound circuits in place. Testing tells us which you need.

How it's planned

First fix runs the new cables while the property is open. Second fix fits the sockets, switches and fittings once the plastering is done. Where you're living in the house, it's planned room by room so you keep power and light where you need it.

“Extremely pleased with the work George carried out in my property, George completed a full rewire, added outside lighting and power, completed second fixing and a new fuse board. He was very efficient, very clean and tidy, great value for money and went the extra mile (for example offering to fill holes/giving me advice on other parts of the my project). Highly recommend.”

Certified and notified

A rewire is notifiable work. We're NAPIT registered, so we certify it and notify building control ourselves, and you get the electrical installation certificate when it's done.

Rewires: common questions

How do I know if my house needs rewiring?

The age of the wiring, an unsatisfactory EICR, or signs like discoloured sockets, rubber-sheathed cable and an old fuse board. An inspection settles it.

Do I need to move out?

Usually not. It's disruptive, but with the work planned room by room most people stay put.

Is a new consumer unit included?

Almost always, because the old board rarely suits the new circuits. It's itemised in the quote so you can see it.
