If the property hasn't been rewired since the 1990s, the wiring system is likely below current regs and degrading.
Full and partial house rewires for homeowners and landlords, planned around your life, quoted in writing, certified at sign-off. Most rewires take 5–10 working days depending on the size of the property.
If two or three of these sound familiar, it's worth booking an EICR before deciding.
If the property hasn't been rewired since the 1990s, the wiring system is likely below current regs and degrading.
Original lighting circuits, rubber/cloth cabling or round-pin sockets are usually beyond repair and need replacing.
Repeated tripping, warm sockets or scorch marks behind faceplates are signs the installation is failing.
If the property is being extended, it's cheaper to rewire now than retrofit after plastering.
Where the report shows widespread issues, a rewire is often more economical than circuit-by-circuit remedials.
Buyers want certified electrics. Landlords need a satisfactory EICR. A rewire delivers both.
A typical 3-bed rewire bundles all of the below into one fixed quote, no surprise extras at the end of the job.
We walk the property with you, check the existing installation, and understand what you want changed or added.
Itemised quote covering first fix, second fix, consumer unit, testing and certification. Stage payments agreed up front.
First fix → plastering → second fix → test → certificate. Paperwork sent over for your records.
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.
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.
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.
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.
