“They replied quickly to my enquiry, was available and costed up the project. It was then all completed to a very high standard and I was really happy with the outcome (adding power sockets and lights to my garage). Second time I've used them before and will definitely be using again when required.”

Questions

House rewiring questions.

Not covered here? Call 07732 700630 and ask.

How long does a rewire take?

It depends on the size of the house, how much access we have and whether you are living in it during the work. An empty property runs faster than an occupied one, because we are not working room by room around you.

How much does a rewire cost?

Price depends on the number of circuits and accessories, the construction of the building, and how much making good is needed afterwards.

Do I have to move out?

Not necessarily. Many rewires are done room by room with power kept on elsewhere, though it is dusty and disruptive work, so people often move out for a full rewire if they can.

Will the work be certified?

Yes. A rewire is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations. As a NAPIT registered contractor we certify the work and notify building control, and you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate.
