What happens on the day
Every rewire follows a structured sequence from circuit isolation through to installation and final testing, keeping disruption inside the property as low as practical.
- Site protection and isolationFloors and key work areas receive protection before tools and materials enter the house. The electrical supply is safely isolated at the main switch, allowing old circuits to be disconnected safely while maintaining temporary power where needed.
- Cable runs and back boxesCables run through floor voids, ceilings and wall chases to feed each planned point. Metal back boxes are securely recessed into walls, and fresh low smoke zero halogen or standard PVC cabling is pulled through to every switch, socket and ceiling position.
- Consumer unit installation and second fixSockets, switches and light fittings are mounted and connected. A new metal-clad consumer unit is fitted with individual circuit protection, marking each breaker clearly for easy identification.
- Inspection and testingEvery newly installed run undergoes electrical testing for earth continuity, polarity and insulation resistance. Results are logged immediately to verify that the whole installation meets electrical safety standards.

“Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.”

WhatsAppHow do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Warning signs include cables with rubber, fabric or lead sheathing, an outdated fuse box with rewirable fuses, frequent tripping, scorching around sockets, or failing an electrical inspection. A visual check and preliminary tests determine whether a full or partial rewire is appropriate.
Do I have to move out while the rewire takes place?
You can often remain in the property during the project, as we keep essential power running where feasible and work systematically room by room. However, rewiring produces dust and involves lifting floorboards, so some homeowners choose to vacate while work is underway.
What certificates will I receive after rewiring?
You will receive an Electrical Installation Certificate confirming that all new wiring, earthing and protective devices comply with current standards. Because Lighting Electrical is NAPIT registered, the work is also logged for local authority Building Regulations compliance.
Can you rewire individual rooms or extensions?
Yes, partial rewires are possible when only specific areas such as a kitchen, bathroom or loft conversion need modern cabling. We test the existing consumer unit and supply characteristics beforehand to verify that the existing system can safely accommodate the changes.
Does rewiring include plastering and painting?
Our service includes making good the chases cut into masonry walls so they are flush and ready for decorating. Final skim plastering, decorative painting, wallpapering and flooring refitting are separate tasks handled by your chosen decorators or trades.
