What happens on the day
Rewiring a property involves structured stages to install new cabling, fit accessories and verify that every circuit complies with modern safety standards.
- Initial property survey and layout planningBefore any physical work starts, the property is surveyed to map out existing cabling routes and determine preferred positions for all light switches, ceiling fixtures, socket outlets and the new consumer unit.
- First fix cable installationFloorboards are lifted and wall channels are cut to run new cabling through ceilings, stud walls and chases. Back boxes are set in place for all planned power and lighting positions while the circuits are routed to the central board.
- Second fix fittings and consumer unit installationOnce wall surfaces are ready, faceplates, switches and light fittings are connected. A modern consumer unit with residual current protection is installed alongside upgraded main earthing and protective bonding.
- Testing and system commissioningEvery individual circuit undergoes instrument testing to verify continuity, insulation resistance and correct polarity before the system is energised, followed by operational functional checks on all installed points.

WhatsAppHow long does it take to rewire a house?
A complete rewire for a standard three bedroom property typically requires about one week of on-site work. Partial rewires, such as single floors or kitchen areas, take less time depending on cable routing complexity.
Can residents remain in the property during rewiring?
It is possible to stay in the home while work progresses room by room, but rewiring involves lifting floorboards, cutting wall chases and turning off power circuits for scheduled periods. Working in an unoccupied property is significantly faster and avoids dust disruption.
Does a full rewire require Building Regulations compliance?
Yes. Complete house rewiring is notifiable work under Building Regulations. On completion, the installation is thoroughly tested and certified, with official documentation provided for building control compliance.
Can an old fuse board be replaced instead of completing a rewire?
If existing cables are in good physical condition and pass insulation resistance testing, upgrading the consumer unit alone may be appropriate. If the cables are degraded or hazardous, fitting a new board will not cure the underlying wiring defects.
What is the difference between first fix and second fix?
First fix involves routing raw cables through floor voids, lofts and wall channels, as well as fixing metal back boxes. Second fix occurs after plastering, when switches, sockets, light fittings and the consumer unit are connected and tested.
