What happens on the day

Rewiring is a structured process that moves from initial circuit planning through physical cable installation to testing and system energisation.

  • Initial survey and circuit planningWe walk through the property to confirm the exact position of every socket, switch, ceiling light, and cooker point. We identify subfloor access routes, assess main earthing conductors, and mark out where new cabling will run.
  • First fix cable installationPower is isolated to the working areas while floorboards are lifted and walls are channelled to install back boxes. We run modern low-smoke cabling throughout the property to create individual rings for sockets and radial circuits for lighting.
  • Second fix fitting and connectionsOnce wall plastering or repairs are prepared, we mount the faceplates, connect switches, fit downlights, and terminate circuit conductors inside a new consumer unit fitted with modern circuit protection.
  • Inspection, testing and sign offEvery individual run is tested for earth continuity, insulation resistance, and correct polarity before the system is energised. We complete full testing routines and verify that all protective devices trip within required timeframes.

Frequently asked questions about rewiring

Still have a question?

How do I know if my house needs rewiring?

Clear warning signs include black rubber cabling, lead or fabric sheathing, wooden-backed fuse boards, round-pin sockets, or wall switches with metal toggles. An electrical safety report showing multiple defect codes on circuit insulation also signals that cabling has reached the end of its safe operating life.

How long does a house rewire take?

A typical three-bedroom home usually takes approximately one week for first-fix and second-fix installation. Smaller flats or partial rewires can take fewer days, whereas larger detached homes with extensive outdoor lighting or outbuildings take longer.

Can I stay in the house while it is being rewired?

It is possible to live in the property while work proceeds room by room, but floorboards will be raised, power will be turned off during working hours, and chasing brickwork creates noticeable dust. Having the property unoccupied allows work to progress much faster.

Does a full rewire include plastering and painting?

Electrical rewires cover the chasing of walls, installation of conduit, back boxes, and running of cables. Filling chases, plaster skimming, painting, and replacing carpet finishes are building and decorating works that sit outside the electrical installation.

What documentation will I receive after the rewire?

Upon finishing testing, you will be issued a full Electrical Installation Certificate. This certificate details all test readings for earth loop impedance, insulation resistance, and circuit breaker trip times, verifying that the installation complies with current safety regulations.
