• Install new cabling.
• New 18th edition Consumer unit.
• Install several new socket circuits and lighting circuits.
• Fit new back boxes and sockets and switches.
• Remove all old cabling where possible.
• Testing and Inspection of New cabling and equipment.
• Once completed an Electrical Installation Certificate will be issued and the relevant council notified of the work.
• Before the rewire starts you can discuss with your electrician, where you would like your sockets and lights to be installed.

Rewire Stages

First stage – cabling, wiring, circuits and back boxes are all replaced.

Second stage – light fittings, face plates, sockets, switches are installed. All wiring is connected to the consumer unit to make everything live.

When and How often should a House be Rewired?

There is no time frame for rewiring a home, but if your Properties wiring is over 25 years old it may need a partial rewire, or a full rewire, to bring it up to current safety standards.

Electrical inspections should be carried out every 5 years if you are a landlord, and every 10 years if you own your house. This is to make sure that everything is still safe and in full working order.

If the electrical system becomes outdated, there are a couple of things to look out for that may require you to get your home rewired:

When electrics become unsafe – if at any time your electrics become unsafe or stop meeting current regulations, you should get them fixed as soon as possible to avoid fire or injury.
