House rewires in Kent.

A rewire, planned around your home.

Wiring doesn’t last forever. Rubber and fabric-insulated cable from the 1960s and earlier becomes brittle and can crumble, and many older homes have no earth on the lighting circuits at all. A full rewire replaces everything from the consumer unit outwards. A partial rewire tackles the parts that need it most, such as a kitchen or a single floor, and can be a sensible option when the rest of the wiring tests well.

Rewiring is messy work, so planning matters. I agree a room-by-room order with you, lift floorboards carefully, use dust sheets and clean up at the end of each day. Where possible I keep some power and lighting on so you can stay in the house. Chases and holes are made good to a reasonable standard ready for your plasterer or decorator, but plastering and decorating aren’t included unless they’re on your quote.

Period properties need extra thought. I route cables to avoid cutting into original cornicing, panelled walls and old floors wherever I can, and talk through options for switches and sockets that suit the house. A rewire is notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, and your quote will explain how it will be notified and any fee. When it’s finished, you’ll get an Electrical Installation Certificate by email.
