Full House Rewires

A full house rewire is a major electrical upgrade that involves replacing all wiring, sockets, switches, and the consumer unit (fuse board). It’s essential for older homes where the existing wiring may no longer be safe or fit for purpose. If your property is over 25-30 years old and hasn’t been rewired, you may start experiencing issues such as tripping circuits, flickering lights, or limited power points – clear signs that your system needs updating.

Beyond safety, a full rewire is often necessary during major renovations. When redesigning your home’s layout, adding new appliances, or upgrading to smart electrics, your existing wiring may struggle to cope with increased power demands. A complete rewire ensures your home is future-proof, energy-efficient, and compliant with the latest electrical regulations.

What Does a Full Rewire Involve?

Rewiring a house is a structured process that typically takes place in two stages:

  • First fix: This involves removing the old wiring, installing new circuits, and laying out the infrastructure for sockets, switches, and lighting. It’s best done before plastering and decorating, making it ideal for renovation projects.
  • Second fix: Once the walls and ceilings are finished, we return to install faceplates, and fittings, and connect everything to the new consumer unit, ensuring a seamless, modern finish.

As part of the rewire, we’ll upgrade your consumer unit to meet current safety standards, install new lighting solutions, and add extra power points in convenient locations. If you’re considering smart home integration, we can incorporate automation features such as app-controlled lighting and energy-efficient smart electrics.

Partial Rewires

A partial rewire is ideal when only specific areas of your home need updating. Instead of replacing the entire system, we focus on sections that require attention – whether it’s upgrading lighting circuits during a renovation, replacing damaged wiring, or modernising an outdated consumer unit.

This approach is particularly useful if you’re extending your home, converting a loft, or redesigning a kitchen or bathroom. We ensure that any new wiring is fully integrated with your existing system while meeting all safety regulations. Before carrying out any work, we’ll conduct a thorough inspection to determine whether a partial rewire is suitable for your property.
