Electrical work in Macclesfield. Areas covered
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.
