Good to know
Inspection before a rewire
Before you commit to a full rewire, we can carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report. It tells you, in writing, whether the wiring is unsafe, worn or still fit for use, so any rewiring is based on evidence rather than guesswork.
Keeping disruption down
Rewiring is disruptive, but it doesn’t need to be chaotic. We work room by room where we can, give you a clear schedule, coordinate with builders and other trades, and plan cable routes to keep chasing and lifted floorboards to a minimum.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
The most reliable way is an EICR. It shows whether your wiring is unsafe, outdated or still suitable for continued use.
How long does a full rewire take?
Most full house rewires take between five and ten working days, depending on the size and layout of the house.
Can I stay in my home during a rewire?
Sometimes, but expect disruption and time without power. For a full rewire, many people move out for part of the work.
Does a rewire include a new fuse box?
Usually. If the existing consumer unit can't safely support the new wiring, it will need replacing as part of the job.
Is rewiring notifiable work?
Yes. Rewiring is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. We notify building control and give you the certificates.
