Whether you are renovating a property, updating an older installation or reorganising how rooms are used, a rewire is a chance to put sockets, lighting and circuits exactly where you need them.
When might a home need rewiring?
- The electrical installation is old or has been altered many times over the years
- You are carrying out a major renovation and walls or floors are already opened up
- You need more sockets and circuits than the existing installation was designed for
- Parts of the wiring have been identified as needing replacement
- You are changing the layout of the home and want the electrics to match
Options
Full rewire
Replacement of the wiring throughout the property, with new circuits, sockets, switches and lighting points planned around how you live.
Partial rewire
Rewiring of selected rooms, floors or circuits where the whole property does not need to be done.
Rewiring during renovation
Coordinating electrical first- and second-fix work alongside other trades during a renovation.
Consumer unit where relevant
Where appropriate, a rewire can be paired with a consumer unit upgrade so the whole installation is brought up to date.
How NIX Electrical can help
Luke will talk through what you need, how the property is used and what you would like to change. The work is then planned so circuits, sockets and lighting are laid out sensibly, with clear communication about what is involved before anything starts.
Rewiring is notifiable electrical work. As a NAPIT-registered electrician, NIX Electrical can carry out and certify qualifying domestic installation work in line with current regulations.
Frequently asked questions
What is a full house rewire?
A full rewire replaces the fixed wiring throughout the property, typically along with sockets, switches, lighting points and circuits, so the whole installation is renewed.
Can part of a property be rewired?
Yes. NIX Electrical carries out partial rewires where only certain rooms, floors or circuits need replacing.
Can rewiring be carried out during a renovation?
Yes. Renovations are often the most practical time to rewire, as walls and floors may already be opened up.
How much does a rewire cost?
Every property is different, so the best first step is to call Luke on 07961 842872 or send an enquiry with details of the property and the work you have in mind.
