Signs a rewire is needed
Rubber, fabric or lead-sheathed cables, round-pin sockets, black switches mounted on wooden blocks, and lots of extension leads because there are too few sockets all point to old wiring. An EICR that finds several dangerous or potentially dangerous items is another clear sign.

Full or partial rewire
A full rewire replaces every circuit, usually with a new consumer unit. A partial rewire replaces only the circuits that need it, such as the kitchen or an older part of the house. An inspection shows which option makes sense for your home and budget.

How long it takes
A full rewire of a typical three-bedroom house often takes around a week to ten days, depending on its size and layout. The work is easier and quicker when the house is empty, but we can plan it in stages if you're living there.
What to expect from a house rewiring job
We start by inspecting the existing wiring and talking through where you want sockets, lights and switches. The quote sets out the work room by room. First fix comes next: lifting floorboards, chasing walls and running new cables before any plastering is done.
Second fix is when the sockets, switches, lights and consumer unit go in. Every circuit is then tested, and you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate, with building control notified. Walls will need plastering and decorating afterwards, which we'll plan around with you or your builder.
What's included
- Inspection and a room-by-room plan
- New cables and accessories

House Rewiring questions
Can I stay in my Woking home during a rewire?
Yes, many people do, although it's more disruptive. We work room by room, keep at least some power on at the end of each day where we can, and cover furniture and floors. If you can move out for part of it, the job is usually quicker.
How much mess does house rewiring make?
A full rewire is messy. Floorboards are lifted and walls are chased to bury cables, which creates dust. We use dust sheets and tidy up daily, but plan for plastering and decorating afterwards. A partial rewire limits the mess to the rooms involved.
How do I know if my house in Woking needs rewiring?
An EICR is the best way to find out. It tests the condition of every circuit and shows whether the wiring can be repaired or needs replacing. Old cable types, a lack of earthing and repeated faults usually mean a rewire is due.
Is a rewire a good time to add extra sockets and lights?
Yes. It's the cheapest and tidiest point to add sockets, USB points, outdoor power, extra lighting circuits or data cabling, because the walls and floors are already open. Tell us what you'd like before the quote so it's planned in from the start.
