5 Bedroom House Rewire

Most of our full-house rewiring projects take 1-2 days to complete, while normal electricians may advertise a full rewire of your house to take 4-10 days. We can do this much faster by using more means and having experience in rewiring over 6000 homes. When it comes to house rewiring, we are fairly confident we are the quickest team.  

Yes, we usually route all electrical cables through your wall. We offer a plastering home rewiring service to put this all back together for you. 

Yes, usually overnight if required. However, we do install temporary rewired electrical supplies on request.  

Yes, an electrical rewire is a very messy and disruptive job. Depending on the type of house construction, there can be a lot of dust and mess generated when rewiring. Good electrical contractors will have suitable dust extraction equipment and methods to help minimise the dust.

Most furniture will need moving at some point during the rewire, especially for significant alterations. If new wires are required, our team is more than happy to assist. Speak to the registered electrician to find out when and how.

Yes. Your rewire electrician will need to work in the loft.

Yes, it’s a good idea to remove all pets when rewiring your home.

We offer a service to take away all your rubbish for your rewire at a cost; simply request this upon enquiry.  

Our rewiring projects start from £1995 +Vat. We feel we are very competitive on our costs and consider the value offered to our client to be exceptional. We often offer a price match promise to any comparable quotes, subject to terms. Check out our rewire cost calculator for more information.

Yes, with all rewiring projects, we offer a thorough cleaning of the property. We also offer a professional cleaning service should clients require additional post-work cleanup.

Yes, usually overnight if required, but the main power will be off for the duration of the rewiring works. However, we do install temporary supplies on request for things like fridges and fish tanks. 

We do not recommend being inside the property during rewiring. It is a fast-paced building site environment. For health and safety reasons, it’s best that the home’s occupants stay elsewhere. 

Generally, you will need to pack away all the small loose items, and we can help with any heavy items if necessary. This must be done before electricians arrive at your home. We send out help documents that show how to prepare for rewiring.

Generally, on the second level upstairs, we will need to lift any floor coverings. This depends on the access we have throughout the property. If there is crawl space under the ground floor, we may not need to lift any flooring. 

We go into detail on this if you accept a quote. However, as a rule of thumb, you want to create a meter permitter space around the outside of every room, pack small belongings away, and then dust sheet up every room. We have a full guide on how to prepare for a rewire on our blog.

It’s worthwhile letting your neighbours know you are getting rewired, as it can be noisy work.

Yes, we provide a plasterer with all of our projects unless you decide not to use this service. The amount of plastering required varies from different properties.

Yes, we can arrange a free quote for decoration works if required.

Yes, you can specify your rewiring any way you like and we can advise on additional extras such as decorative sockets. With our home rewiring in Glasgow, we ensure your electrical system is tailored to your preferences and meets all your functional and aesthetic needs.

Yes, when you rewire your home, you can completely resign the electrical layout. This includes adding extra plug sockets and TV aerial sockets to meet your needs. The number of sockets you can add depends on your specific requirements and the capacity of your electrical system.

Yes, particularly within Artex wall coverings. We are trained to identify asbestos and can arrange a test and removal if required.

Yes, all of our installations come with a standard 6-year NICEIC guarantee. This includes the installation of other electrical components like heating controls and burglar alarms, and inspecting exposed parts.

All of our electricians are fully certified and hold a NICEIC Certification to ensure electrical work carried out is safe and effective. 

We discourage clients from doing any work themselves in a bid to save costs. You can make things much easier for us by lifting the carpets, ensuring the furniture is clear, showing us any hidden cabling, and removing cover plates from light switches.   

The signs that you may need to rewire your home or install new electrical components include: 

• Fuses blowing
• Shocks from switches and outlets
• Frequently flickering or dimming lights
• Damaged or exposed wires
• Cables and poor test results

Rewiring involves an experienced electrician, or team of electricians, removing all of the electrical wiring in each room of your home or flat and replacing it with brand-new wiring. This makes the installation safer.

Check out our page for “the process of rewiring” to get a glimpse of the step-by-step guide. 

We have heard of this in the past, but have never actually come across anyone who successfully got a grant to rewire their home.

Insurers treat rewiring as an essential maintenance task, so they would not cover these works as maintenance. If an accident such as a fire occurred due to faulty electrics, then they may cover the damages.  

Yes. While any qualified electrician should have the knowledge to rewire a house, having the practical know-how to rewire homes fast takes years and years of experience. Fortunately, our house rewiring electricians are highly experienced and NICIEC-certified.

Our teams are specifically trained in rewiring with many years of experience in rewiring homes.

You should check their qualifications, accreditations and online reputation. HomeRewire is NICEIC-certified and ensures that all work undertaken by our team meets all required safety standards.

An RCD (Residual Current Device) is a device we will install during rewiring which can potentially save your life in the event of electric shock. In layman’s terms, it’s a sensitive device that detects faults and dangerous wiring issues.
