What happens on the day
Rewiring requires careful staging to keep disruption manageable. Work progresses methodically from initial walk-through to final testing and building control notification.
- Initial property survey and layout planningA thorough walkthrough of the house establishes the precise placement of every switch, twin socket, ceiling pendant, and dedicated appliance feed before any physical work starts on site.
- First fix installation of cable runs and back boxesFloorboards are lifted and masonry walls are channelled to receive protective conduits, back boxes, and cabling. Supply paths are drawn from the consumer unit location to every planned point throughout the home.
- Second fix faceplates and consumer unit connectionFollowing wall preparation, decorative faceplates, switches, pendants, and luminaires are connected. The main consumer unit is fitted with surge protection and dual RCDs or individual RCBOs, connecting each separate circuit.
- Full testing and circuit verificationEvery newly fitted circuit undergoes continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity testing. Protective trip times are checked using calibrated test instruments to verify compliance with installation standards.

WhatsAppCan I stay in the house while the rewiring is carried out?
Living on site is possible by rewiring on a room by room basis, though it involves lifting floorboards, cutting wall channels, and temporary interruptions to the electricity supply. The process runs much faster when the building is vacant or when personal items are removed from working areas.
How long does it take to complete a full house rewire?
A standard three bedroom home typically requires approximately five to seven working days to run cables, mount back boxes, install the consumer unit, fit faceplates, and carry out final testing. Partial installations or unoccupied properties can be finished sooner.
Does rewiring work require building control notification?
Yes. A full house rewire constitutes notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations. TMB Electrics issues an Electrical Installation Certificate and arranges the local authority compliance notice once testing is successfully concluded.
Will a new consumer unit solve my electrical issues without a rewire?
If testing reveals that your current subfloor and wall cables maintain healthy insulation values and unbroken earth paths, a consumer unit replacement may be adequate. However, if the cabling has degraded or lacks essential earths, fitting a modern board onto defective cables will cause frequent tripping and won't make the installation safe.
Are plaster repairs and decorating included in the rewire cost?
Chasing walls to recess cables produces plaster dust and leaves exposed chases. The rewiring price covers all electrical materials, cabling, faceplates, and certification, but decorative making good, finish plastering, and redecorating are arranged separately by the homeowner.
