Room-by-room decisions

When to consider a rewire.

We assess the existing wiring and your plans before recommending a full or partial rewire. Together, we agree where sockets, lights and controls will go, and how the work will fit around the property and other trades.

  • Full rewires of older homes
  • Partial rewiring of selected rooms or circuits
  • Rewiring during a refurbishment
  • Rewires in occupied homes, where safe phased working is possible

Your rewire

What your rewire includes.

  • An agreed electrical layout and quotation defining the full or partial rewire

  • New wiring, circuits and fittings specified for each room

  • Clearly labelled circuits and controls

  • Inspection, testing, an Electrical Installation Certificate and circuit schedules

Rewiring stages

The stages of a rewire.

  • Survey the property

    Check the existing wiring and discuss access, occupancy and any building plans.

  • Agree the layout

    Confirm sockets, lighting, controls, appliances and future needs before wiring starts.

  • Install in stages

    First fix installs the wiring; second fix adds switches, sockets and lights. Both are coordinated with your builder and other trades.

  • Test and hand over

    Complete the final checks, explain the controls and supply your documents.

Helpful to know

Questions about full and partial rewiring.

Does a rewire include plastering and decorating?

That depends on the quotation. It will state who cuts channels for cables and who repairs affected walls, plaster and decoration before work begins.

Can we stay in the house during a rewire?

Sometimes. It depends on the property, the extent of the work and whether safe access and temporary power can be maintained. Occupied rewires normally take longer.

What documents come with a rewire?

A full rewire comes with an Electrical Installation Certificate and circuit schedules. For a partial rewire, the certificate identifies the circuits and work included. Your quotation also explains any Building Regulations notification and the separate completion or compliance certificate required for the work.
