A Week to Remember: 4 Full Occupied Rewires in Bishopbriggs!

At HomeRewire, we are passionate about delivering the highest quality electrical services to every home we touch. This past week, our team had the pleasure of working on 4 Full Occupied Rewires in Bishopbriggs! Each project presented its own unique set of challenges, but thanks to our skilled team and thorough planning, we were able to complete all four rewires while the homes remained fully occupied, ensuring minimal disruption to our clients’ daily lives.

Here’s a detailed look at each project, the challenges we faced, and the solutions we provided to ensure a successful outcome:

Property 1

Project Details:

Type: Full Occupied Rewire
Upgrades: Extended electrical power to the detached garage, requiring trenching through the garden
Cost: £5490

Challenges:
This project involved bringing electrical power to a detached garage that was previously without any wiring. The garage was located at a distance from the main house, requiring a trench to be dug through the garden to lay the necessary cables. The challenge here was not only to ensure that the new wiring was safely and correctly installed but also to minimize the impact on the homeowner’s carefully landscaped garden.

Solution:
Our team began by meticulously planning the trenching process, taking into account the layout of the garden, the presence of any underground utilities, and the need to preserve as much of the landscaping as possible. We used precise digging equipment to create a narrow trench that would accommodate the new electrical cables without causing unnecessary disruption. After laying the cables, we carefully backfilled the trench, restoring the garden to its original state. The new wiring provided reliable power to the garage, enabling it to be used for various purposes, from a workshop to additional storage or even a potential future home office.

Property 2

Project Details:

Type: Full Occupied Rewire
Upgrades: Installed data wiring in the garage to create a functional home office space
Cost: £6330

Challenges:
The homeowner required a functional, high-tech workspace in their garage, complete with both electrical power and internet connectivity. The challenge was to seamlessly integrate data wiring into the existing electrical infrastructure, ensuring a strong and reliable connection that could support remote work activities without affecting the rest of the home’s network performance.

Solution:
Our team carefully assessed the garage’s existing wiring setup and determined the best way to introduce data cabling without disrupting the existing electrical systems. We ran data cables alongside the electrical wiring, installing dedicated outlets and ports to ensure a clean, professional finish. To avoid signal interference and ensure maximum efficiency, we used high-quality shielded cables and carefully planned the wiring routes. The homeowner now enjoys a fully functional, well-connected workspace in their garage, perfectly suited for remote work or any other high-tech needs.

Property 3

Project Details:

Type: Full Occupied Rewire
Upgrades: Installed additional sockets, replaced old and potentially hazardous wiring, and upgraded to a new consumer unit
Cost: £6472

Challenges:
This home had outdated wiring that not only fell short of modern safety standards but also limited the homeowner’s ability to use modern appliances and devices. The property lacked sufficient electrical outlets, leading to overuse of extension cords, which can be a safety hazard. Additionally, the existing consumer unit was outdated and insufficient to support the upgraded electrical system.

Solution:
Our approach began with a thorough inspection of the existing wiring to identify areas of concern. We then set about replacing the old, degraded wiring with new, high-quality materials that meet current safety standards. To address the shortage of outlets, we added multiple new sockets throughout the home, strategically placing them in areas where the homeowner needed them most. Finally, we installed a new consumer unit with greater capacity and advanced safety features, ensuring that the home’s electrical system could handle modern demands safely and efficiently. The homeowner now enjoys a safer, more convenient living environment with ample power access and peace of mind knowing their electrical system is up to date.

Property 4

Project Details:

Type: Full Occupied Rewire
Upgrades: Installed 8 new spotlights, removed the outdated central light, and rewired the kitchen with minimal impact on the extensive tiling
Cost: £4794

Challenges:
This 1960s home needed a complete electrical overhaul. The homeowners desired a more modern lighting setup, particularly in the living areas where they wanted to replace the single, central ceiling light with multiple spotlights. The kitchen, which was beautifully tiled from floor to ceiling, required careful handling to avoid damaging the tiles during the rewire.

Solution:
To meet the challenge of installing spotlights in a home that was not originally designed for such modern fixtures, we carefully planned the rewire to minimize disruption. We used advanced techniques to run new wiring through existing channels and voids, avoiding the need to tear down walls or ceilings. In the kitchen, where preserving the tile work was paramount, our team employed specialized tools and precision methods to access and replace the wiring behind the tiles. We worked methodically, ensuring that the new wiring was safely installed without disturbing the tiles. The end result was a sleek, modern lighting system that enhanced the home’s aesthetics while preserving its original charm.
