We understand that rewiring work can be disruptive, particularly in occupied homes.
Our electricians plan work carefully, keep you informed throughout the process and aim to complete rewires efficiently while maintaining a clean and safe working environment.
Rewires for landlords

Rewire FAQs
How do I know if my property needs rewiring?
Before committing to a full rewire, we often recommend an electrical safety inspection to assess the condition of the existing installation and identify whether rewiring is necessary.
Do rewires need to be reported to building control?
Yes, rewiring work is notifiable under building regulations, which is why using a registered electrical contractor allows the work to be certified and notified correctly.
What is the difference between a full and partial rewire?
A full rewire replaces all fixed wiring, while a partial rewire focuses on specific circuits or areas where issues have been identified.
How long does a full rewire take?
Most full residential rewires take between five and ten days depending on the size of the property and the scope of work.
Will I receive certification?
Yes, all rewiring work is fully tested and certified in line with current wiring regulations.
