How much does a full rewire cost?

Rewire cost depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits, so we always quote after seeing it — giving you a fixed, written price up front with no hidden extras.

Will I get a certificate after a rewire?

Yes — a full rewire is certified with an Electrical Installation Certificate and notified to building control, giving you full documentation for your home, mortgage or landlord compliance.

How do I know if my house needs rewiring?

Signs include old rubber-coated wiring, a fuse box with ceramic fuses rather than modern circuit breakers, regularly tripping electrics, burning smells, or flickering lights. An EICR will identify whether a rewire is necessary. Wiring over 25–30 years old should be inspected.

How long does a full house rewire take?

A typical 3-bedroom house takes 5–7 days. A 1-bedroom flat takes 2–3 days. The exact time depends on the size and complexity of the property. We will give you a clear timescale when we quote.

Do I need to move out during a rewire?

Most customers stay in the property during a rewire. We section the work by floor or area so that only part of the property is without power at any time. We will discuss the practical arrangements with you when planning the job.

Will rewiring damage my walls and ceilings?

Some chasing into plasterwork is usually necessary to conceal cables. We keep this to a minimum and always work as tidily as possible. We do not carry out plastering, but our work is left ready for a decorator. We always discuss the extent of any making-good work with you beforehand.
