When you need one

Signs your home needs rewiring

If two or three of these sound familiar, it's worth booking an EICR before deciding.

House is 25+ years old

Properties not rewired since the 90s are likely below current regs and degrading.

Round-pin sockets or cloth cabling

Rubber/cloth cabling and round-pin sockets are usually beyond repair.

Trips, burning smells, scorch marks

Repeated tripping, warm sockets or scorch marks are signs the installation is failing.

Renovation or extension

If you're extending, it's cheaper to rewire now than retrofit after plastering.

Failed EICR with multiple C1/C2s

Where the report shows widespread issues, a rewire often beats circuit-by-circuit remedials on cost.

Buying or letting

Buyers want certified electrics. Landlords need a satisfactory EICR. A rewire delivers both.

What homeowners write after a rewire

Full rewire
The team were excellent. Couldn't thank them enough. They were very helpful and understanding with what we needed. Would definitely recommend and use again. Wish I'd found the company sooner.

Common questions

House rewire FAQs

How long does a house rewire take?

Most domestic rewires take 5–10 working days. A 2-bed flat is usually closer to 5; a 4-bed family home with extensions can be 10+. We'll give you a concrete timeline in the written quote.

Do I need to move out during a rewire?

Usually not. We work in stages so at least part of the property stays powered most of the time. Heavy plaster work after first fix is where most people stay elsewhere for a couple of nights if they can.

Do you do partial rewires?

Yes, a partial rewire targets only the circuits that need replacing (e.g. just upstairs, or just the kitchen). It's a big chunk cheaper than a full rewire when the existing system is mostly sound.

What certificates do I get afterwards?

An Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) covering the new work, plus a Part P notification submitted to your local authority. Both go into your home file and stay with the property when you sell.

Can you rewire while my builder's on site?

Yes, this is the easiest time to do it. We slot first fix in between joinery and plastering, then second fix once the plaster is dry. We work directly with your builder or under your project management.

Which areas do you cover for rewires?

North London, primarily N, NW, E, EN and HA postcodes. We've completed rewires in Highgate, Crouch End, Tottenham, Wood Green, Edmonton, Walthamstow, Enfield, Muswell Hill, Finsbury Park and surrounding areas.
