A rewire planned for real household use
Full or focused replacement
We match the scope to the condition of the wiring and your planned alterations.
Sockets where they are useful
We plan outlets and circuits around furniture, appliances and everyday demand.
Clear preparation advice
You will know which rooms, floors and fittings need access before we begin.
Replace ageing wiring and overloaded circuits
Old cabling can struggle with the number of sockets, appliances and electrical fittings used in a modern home. We assess the existing installation and explain whether house rewiring is needed throughout or only in a defined part of the property. A full rewire replaces ageing circuits across the home. A partial rewire targets an extension, altered room or defective section while retaining wiring that remains suitable. We plan socket points, lighting, fixed appliances and circuit capacity around how you use each room, not around where fittings happened to be decades ago.
Know what happens before floors come up
Rewiring involves access, dust and temporary loss of power, so we set practical expectations before starting. The job normally moves from assessment and circuit design to first fix cabling, second fix accessories, testing and handover. Floor coverings may need lifting and rooms need enough space for us to reach cable routes. We can also discuss how the electrical stages fit around plastering or decorating. Careful preparation makes the job easier and reduces the chance of freshly painted walls meeting a chasing tool too soon.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Frequent faults, ageing cables or an inspection may point to replacement being needed, but symptoms alone do not settle it. We assess the installation, test where appropriate and explain whether a full rewire, partial work or a smaller repair is suitable.
Can we stay in the house during a rewire?
That depends on the scale of the job, the rooms affected and how safely temporary supplies can be managed. Rewiring causes power interruptions and requires open access to working areas, so we discuss occupation and room preparation before agreeing the programme.
What is the difference between first and second fix?
During first fix, we install cables and prepare routes before walls and finishes are completed. At second fix, we fit sockets, switches, lights and other accessories. We then test the circuits and complete the electrical handover.
