What happens on the day
Every rewiring project follows an orderly sequence from initial circuit isolation to final dead and live testing, ensuring clear communication at each stage.
- Isolation and initial strip outWe establish temporary power supply arrangements if you remain in the property, isolate the existing mains installation, and begin removing obsolete cables and disused fittings room by room.
- First fix cable runs and back boxesNew low-smoke cabling is pulled through walls, joists, and ceiling voids. Metal back boxes are sunk into walls at the required socket and switch heights, with cable chases cut neatly into the masonry.
- Second fix, board installation, and verificationFaceplates and light fittings are connected once walls are ready. A new dual-RCD or RCBO consumer unit is wired, followed by comprehensive continuity, insulation resistance, and earth fault loop testing.

“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.”

WhatsAppCan I stay in the house while the rewiring takes place?
Yes, many homeowners stay in the property throughout the work. We ensure a temporary power circuit remains live overnight so essential appliances such as refrigerators stay powered while circuits are progressively changed over.
How long does a house rewire typically take?
Timescales depend on property size and whether walls and floors are easily accessible. A smaller home often takes several working days, while larger properties with multiple circuits take longer. The project duration is stated on your quote.
What paperwork will I receive once the rewire is done?
You receive a full Electrical Installation Certificate showing all test measurements for each newly installed circuit. We also register the completed project with NAPIT for Building Regulations compliance.
Does rewiring include final wall decoration?
We make good the wall chases with filler ready for a decorator, but final plaster skim coats, painting, and wallpapering are left to finishing trades.
Do you rewire rental properties between tenancies?
Yes, we regularly rewire rental homes across Witham to resolve issues flagged on condition reports, providing the compliance certificates required for tenancy files.
