Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a full rewire?

A full rewire is usually recommended if the property is over 25–30 years old, has outdated cabling, lacks proper earthing, or shows signs of deterioration. We’ll always assess and advise whether a full or partial rewire is required.

How long does a rewire take?

Timescales vary depending on the size and use of the property. Most domestic rewires take between 5–10 working days, while commercial projects depend on scale and complexity

Is a rewire disruptive?

Honesty is the best policy … Yes. All works are discussed in advance so you know exactly what to expect.

Will I need to move out during a rewire?

In many cases, especially with full domestic rewires, temporary relocation is recommended as this adds on significant time if it is occupied. For commercial premises, works can often be phased to reduce downtime.

Will my home be tested and certified?

Yes. Every rewire is fully tested and comes with the correct electrical certification, confirming the installation is safe and compliant with current regulations.

Can I choose where sockets, switches, and lights go?

Absolutely. We plan layouts with you during the survey and finalise positions before work starts, so everything is exactly where you want it.

Will my furniture need to be moved?

Yes, furniture will usually need to be moved away from walls and sockets. We’ll let you know exactly what needs clearing before we start so there are no surprises on the day.

Will you protect my home while you work?

Absolutely. We use dust sheets, floor protection, and take care throughout the job. Rewires are disruptive by nature, but we’re always respectful of your home.

Is plastering included?

Plastering is optional. We can arrange bonding and plastering of chases if you’d like, helping reduce the number of trades you need to organise.

Is a warranty included?

Yes, once the installation is signed off your 12 month workmanship warranty will begin, all manufacturers warranty will be passed down to you.
