FAQs About Our Electrical Upgrades for Your Home
If you’ve got any questions about our professional domestic rewiring expertise, we’ve answered them below for your convenience.
Homeowners should consider upgrading their existing system with new wiring every 20 to 30 years. Your house should also be rewired if your electrical systems are damaged or showing signs of deterioration.
If you’re buying an older home, you should consult a professional electrician to conduct a full electrical safety test and inspection. This is the best way to fully assess whether you require a full or partial rewire.
Shock prevention devices and satisfactory cross-bonding will reduce the risks of unexpected electrical shocks. If electrical wiring is old and fails to comply with the correct legal requirements, the possibility of electrical fires also increases.
A professional electric wiring upgrade will ensure your system passes electrical safety standards and current building regulations. We provide you with a rewiring certificate upon completion to validate our 6-year platinum promise guarantee.
There are a few common signs that you need to consider upgrading your electric system. These include insufficient power outputs, your fuse board regularly tripping, and ageing existing wiring. Or your system struggles to safely carry additional loads.
If you have young children, it’s also a good idea to have child-proof sockets installed in your house. If you’re unsure whether your existing connection network is safe, consult us — a qualified electrician is ready to ensure your home passes critical safety regulations.
Rewiring a house during major renovation work like room extensions or a kitchen extension is important. This ensures your home’s electrical system passes electrical safety checks and supports modern appliances. During home improvements, this also enhances energy efficiency and improves overall functionality.
The cost of our rewiring service depends on the following:
- The age and condition of your existing wiring
- The type, position and age of the property
- How much new wiring is required
- How long the electric upgrade will take

Home Rewire Reviews
The reason why this is a 3 star review is because of their boss, communication from him was very lacking in all aspects, especially from the financial side of things. We asked for updated quotes to know how much the add-ons would cost but we never received them. This meant that when the work was completed we were hit with a bill that was almost 2k more than what we had anticipated and budgeted for, and we couldn't remove add-ons as the work was already done. This was frustrating and disappointing, as we were on a tight budget.
Also worth noting that we were told that we could get our own light fittings and they'd fit them rather than putting the standard pendant light. What they didn't mention was that there's a fee for that. Thinking about it, it makes sense as it takes longer, but I wish this was communicated ahead of time so that we could have planned for the costs or reconsidered whether we'd have our own fittings.
On top of that, they didn't tell us that our house didn't have an earth and that they couldn't issue a certificate nor warranty until this was all done. We'll be incurring further costs that we had not planned, and it's something that they would have seen in one of the 3 walkthrough/surveys that we did with them.
Overall good work from the team on site but communication was very poor from management.
Great communication from start to finish, reasonably priced, friendly and left the house tidy.
The full rip out and re wire was completed in less than 2days and to know that it is all completed to a certified standard gives such peace of mind. Can’t recommend Jamie and the team enough.
The guys on site were incredible. The work carried out was done to a high standard and they always made sure I was aware of what was happening. Even added a couple of extras in without having to ask for it.
Highly recommend HomeRewire for any electrical work. Without a doubt the most efficient company I have ever seen.
The job proved harder than they anticipated but the team got cracking on with so much professionalism and still got it done at such a high standard.
Friendly, approachable and respectable staff which made us feel so comfortable at such an overwhelming time.
The team put a fantastic effort into the clean up which made our job at the end much smoother.
Thank you again! Will 100% be singing your praises and recommending you to everyone.
A delightful, professional company who come exactly when they say they will and tidy up after themselves.
Would recommend this company to anyone looking for a professional and high standard electrical job.
Jamie was able to fit me in the week after the survey and Grant, Ryan & Joe did an amazing job fitting the new system, answering all my questions and also my last minute additions on the final day (which was an oversight on my part).
Thanks again to HomeRewire, they really took the stress out of what was a tough job and completed within 2.5 days!
The week leading up to the rewire, i had several message prompts, to get things ready for the morning of the rewire, again everything explained in the check list provided.
Had a walk round the house with Ryan on the morning, nothing was too much trouble, great experience for us !! All done ahead of time schedule, would definitely recommend these guys.
Thank you for a good experience, very difficult to find reliable workmen 10 out of 10.
The guys did an amazing job, even though we had some issues with a miscommunication with another business at the same time. The guys must have battered through the work and it was complete in two days.
The standard of work is way above my expectations, it’s neat, the plasterer even matched the existing plaster work that I had (artex, which I hate but can just paint over for now and you’d never know any work had been done). They even did a clean up at the end and mopped the floors!
I’m delighted with the work done and the work ethic of these guys. Snagging list was completed quickly after Jim came to do a walk round. Very respectful of the property and they didn’t even eat all the biscuits I left them!
Excellent work. 👍
