What happens on the day
Rewiring is carried out systematically to minimise household disruption, taking each section of the property through isolation, installation, connection and testing.
- Floor protection and circuit isolationWork begins by setting out protective coverings over floors and primary walkways. The existing electrical supply is isolated safely at the mains before old accessories, switches and socket plates are detached.
- Running new cabling and back boxesNew low-smoke, heat-resistant cables are routed through floor voids, stud partitions and cut wall channels. Metal back boxes are securely fitted into wall recesses at agreed heights for all switches and sockets.
- Second fix and consumer unit connectionOnce plaster patching is complete, faceplates are connected and secured. The new consumer unit is mounted, with cables neatly dressed in and terminated into individual breakers labelled for each specific circuit.
- Inspection, testing and handoverEvery new run undergoes rigorous electrical testing to confirm insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance and polarity before power is restored. Test readings are recorded for official certification.

“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 requires a complete rewire?
Common warning signs include persistent fuse trips, discoloured socket outlets, flickering lights, cables sheathed in black rubber, fabric or lead, and a lack of modern residual current device protection at the main board. An electrical inspection confirms whether circuits can be repaired or require replacement.
Can I stay in the house while rewiring takes place?
Occupants frequently remain in the house during a rewire. We maintain a temporary power supply for essential amenities like refrigeration and kettle use at the end of each working day, though furniture and personal belongings must be shifted to allow access to floorboards and walls.
What paperwork do you provide when the rewire is finished?
Upon finishing, you receive an Electrical Installation Certificate recording all verification checks and circuit test figures. Because whole-house rewiring is notifiable under building regulations, we also complete the official notification through NAPIT.
How long does a domestic rewire usually take?
A straightforward property can often be rewired within several working days, whereas larger homes with multiple floors or complex layouts may take longer. The expected timeframe is detailed in your initial written quotation.
Are the walls repaired after cables are installed?
We make good all chases and holes cut into walls by applying bonding plaster flush with the surface. The finish is left smooth and solid so your decorator or plasterer can apply lining paper, skim finish or topcoats directly over the top.
