A rewire planned for daily life
Useful socket positions
We plan outlets around furniture and appliances, not an empty room on paper.
Disruption explained early
You'll know where floors, walls and rooms need access before we begin.
Future demand considered
We account for likely additions instead of planning only for today's load.
Replace ageing wiring throughout your home
A full rewire replaces outdated cables and gives the property a properly planned set of circuits. It may be worth assessing when wiring is old, faults keep returning, there aren't enough circuits or a major renovation is about to begin. We plan cable routes, sockets, lighting points and fixed equipment before connecting everything to the consumer unit. Floors may need lifting and walls may need chasing, so a rewire causes some disruption. We explain where access is required and help you coordinate our electrical work with later plastering and decoration. The completed installation is inspected and tested before handover.
Know what shapes the rewire price
Our stated ballpark for a full house rewire is £5,000 to £6,000, but the final scope depends on the property. Size, circuit count, specification and access all matter, as does working in an occupied home rather than an empty one. Early decisions make the finished wiring far more useful. We discuss where furniture, appliances and heating will sit, how each room needs lighting and what future demand may look like. That planning reduces the chance of reaching for extension leads as soon as the decorating is finished.
Frequently asked questions
Does every old property need complete house rewiring?
No. Age alone doesn't settle it. We assess the wiring condition, earthing, circuit protection and signs of alteration or damage. The findings show whether a full rewire is sensible or whether targeted work may be enough.
Can we stay at home while the rewire is completed?
That depends on the property, access and planned sequence. Occupied working can add time and practical limits because rooms need clearing and supplies need isolating. We discuss this before agreeing how the work will proceed.
What should we decide before the rewire starts?
Think about socket positions, lighting, fixed appliances, heating and future additions such as EV charging. A simple room-by-room plan helps us place circuits and controls where you'll actually use them.
