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.
