Signs Your Home Might Need Rewiring
Frequent tripped fuses or blown circuits, flickering or dimming lights, and burning smells or warm sockets are all worth taking seriously. So is old fabric-insulated or rubber cabling, or a consumer unit with a wooden back and rewireable fuses.
Buying an older property without a recent inspection is another common trigger. If any of this sounds familiar, we are happy to visit, assess the property, and tell you honestly whether a full rewire, a partial rewire, or something less involved is the right answer for your home.
A rewire is disruptive by nature, so we plan it room by room wherever possible to keep the property liveable while we work. Where the wiring itself is sound and only the board is dated, we will tell you so, and a consumer unit upgrade may be all you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How long does a house rewire take?
A full rewire on an average three-bedroom house typically takes 5 to 7 working days, depending on the size and age of the property and how much of the existing wiring needs replacing.
-
Can I stay in my home during a rewire?
In most cases, yes. We work room by room wherever possible so you keep power to most of the house, though there will be periods without electricity in the areas we are actively working on.
-
Do I need a full rewire or just a partial one?
That depends on the age and condition of your existing wiring. During our free site visit we will tell you honestly which applies to your property, rather than defaulting to the larger job.
-
Will a rewire make a mess of my home?
There is some disruption inevitably, as rewiring involves lifting floorboards and chasing walls. We work carefully, tidy as we go, and talk you through exactly what to expect at the quote stage.
-
Do I need planning permission for a rewire?
No. Rewiring is notifiable work under Part P Building Regulations rather than something requiring planning permission. As NAPIT registered electricians we self-certify the work and provide your certification.
